0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Emperor has no clothesBy CustomerVishal Agarwal's book is a detailed study and documentation of biased 'academic hinduphobia'. Vishal has done invaluable work in documenting and exposing systemic bias, history falsification and historical negationism by politicized 'academics'. He has also criticized the use of pseudo-science / psychoanalysis in Indology. Vishal's research is backed up with meticulous research and his erudite knowledge of and Indian history. In this book, Vishal focuses primarly on Wendy Doniger, but previously he has also written criticisms of Michael Witzel, Romila Thapar and others.I also recommend the books of , , , , Yvette Rosser, Jain Meenakshi, and , who have also written similar criticisms.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. one must ensure that music quality/musicality as an intrinsic aspect must be highlighted and then evaluate the other extraneousBy balayogi venkataramanhttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2014/03/wendys-ways-americans-woes-what- sex.htmlhttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2014/02/why-wendy- misinterprets.htmlhttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2014/02/oath-for-inter-religious- unity.htmlhttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2014/03/sanathana-dharma-and-why-it-cannot-be.html She is basically evaluating a subject that too something which can be emotionally sensitive to many. Coming to the aspect of evaluation, how to normally encounter and evaluate any subject or topic?It is preferable to immerse any topic or subject matter, primarily and basically with its intrinsic elements/components/aspects/attributes intact, into a cauldron which has a mixture of all these- knowledge based analysis, limited perception based on frames of reference and scales of observation, skepticism , criticism, intellectual scrutiny, compassionate emotionalism, humane socialism, rational thinking, contextual relevance [ which includes too many components] , traditions, practical viability, psychological comfort, aesthetic sensitivity, scientific scrutiny etc and churn the cauldron without clinging on to any particular restrictive social, cultural or political or religious identity.This process inevitably will bring out lot of outputs. We can exercise our freedom and sometimes select and choose some of the outputs. Sometimes the outputs will draw us. Sometimes away from all or any of our intended searches and seeking, outside the circle of these known paradigms, almost tangentially serendipity will drag us to an oasis of serene clarity.At all costs the intrinsic attributes must be the predominant factor so that whatever is thrown into the cauldron and however it is churned, the ultimate output must include those attributes so that evaluation is not distorted or desperately doctored to fit into any predefined and expected outcome.So what pans out ultimately depends on various factors and aspects some of which are explainable within the ken of logical and rational thinking but some are beyond these.We can also observe uneasily how the human intellect polished by a rare faculty [compared to other species] of conscious awareness, capacity to think, store the knowledge, retrieve it for reference etc, is mostly, unwilling to take the risk of accepting the uncertain; the intellectually undecipherable and the inexplicable outcomes, even if such acceptance is branded, extolled and promoted as virtues of humility or modesty.For example if one is evaluating music, one must ensure that music quality/musicality as an intrinsic aspect must be highlighted and then evaluate the other extraneous factors like who renders it, how it is rendered, who is the composer, what is the composition, what is the lyrics, how is the acoustic quality, how the person who is rendering it is dressed, how was the ambiance of the place where it was rendered etc.This blog posting delves rather deep into the process of evaluationhttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2014/08/evaluations-and-tmks-blindness.htmlSpecifically the link in thathttp://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2013/12/story-of-mango-fruit-sambar-and.htmlIf you have enough time you may go through this as well.http://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2013/12/carnatic-music-cockroaches-cars.html

Vishal Agarwal has masterfully offered an elaborate critique of Wendy Doniger’s “The Hindus: An Alternative History” in this book. Dr. Doniger is one of the prominent Western Indologists who had authored the controversial book on history of Hindus, demeaning Hinduism as a religion of sex and perversion. In that book, Hindu Deities are presented as lustful, Hindu saints are falsely alleged by the author to have indulged in sexual orgies, or to have 'taken actions against Muslims', Hindu worshippers are compared to cheating boyfriends, ‘intoxication’ is a ‘central theme of the Vedas’ and Hindu scriptures are presented as a litany of tales of ‘faithful women forsaken by their ungrateful husbands.’ Prof. Doniger, in her book, transforms Hinduphobia into an academically acceptable pursuit. The author has offered a nuanced critique of Prof. Doniger's book paragraph by paragraph. This is a must read by all those who are affected by Hinduphobia.
