What happens when Hindu philosophy is viewed through a Western lens? And why did the very land where this thought was born lose the vocabulary to study it? Shaunaka Rishi Das — founder of the first Centre for Hindu Studies at Oxford — explains how generations grew up connecting to Hinduism with emotion, but not intellect. Now, as India begins to open its own centres — from Doon University to Delhi — the question remains: Can India reclaim its wisdom before it’s reinterpreted for the world? This is the HighFive section from my conversation with Shaunaka Rishi Das — a man whose journey from Ireland to India is one of faith, philosophy, and self-discovery.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
