Vishal Mangalwadi joins us on the Apologetics.com Radio Show to discuss his latest project: Must the Sun Set on the West? Commentary and analysis from one of India’s most provocative and important thinkers. Joining him in the studio are Apologetics.com staff apologist Christopher Neiswonger, Lindsay Brooks & Harry Edwards.

Vishal Mangalwadi is an international lecturer, social reformer, political columnist, and author of thirteen books. Born and raised in India, he studied philosophy at universities, in Hindu ashrams, and at L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. In 1976 he turned down several job offers in the West to return to India where he and his wife, Ruth, founded a community to serve the rural poor. Vishal continued his involvement in community development serving at the headquarters of two national political parties, where he worked for the empowerment and liberation of peasants and the lower castes.

His first book, The World of Gurus, was published in 1977 by India’s Vikas Publishing House, and serialized in India’s then-largest weekly, Sunday. It was Mangalwadi’s books, In Search of Self and India: The Grand Experiment, that first brought his works to the attention of the American public. In demand worldwide, Vishal is a dynamic, engaging speaker who has lectured in 27 countries. He enjoys simplifying complex ideas and inspiring despairing hearts with hope.

Vishal and Ruth are currently in the United States for the production of a television documentary, The Book of the Millennium: How the Bible Changed Civilization, a project inspired by Vishal and Ruth’s recognition of India’s need for the reforming power of the Bible.

  1. I do not agree with all that Vishal Mangalwadi says today, but I must agree that he is an Indian thinker of the first rate. His guidance meant much to mee in my teens and twenties.
