The Rig Veda by Wendy Doniger
3.0
This summary of one of the oldest Indian scriptures was a good attempt at introducing readers to it. However, it is not a complete unabridged translation or explanation of the same and hence misses the mark.
Moreover, though Dongier might have tried to address multiple sources, it does not seem that most of those were anyone who might know the scriptures first hand, but people who were or are just good with Sanskrit translations. Hence, the veracity or the accuracy of the Rig Veda may be questionable.
Nonetheless, as mentioned at the start, it is a good piece to start with the knowledge of what is written in the veda.
