      Terrible crimes lie behind all great civilizations.. but the question of why so many modern Western academics opt to treat Hinduism in ways they don't treat Islam or Buddhism is interesting.. (my guess is, partly to do w Westernized Leftish INDIAN acceptance of this) https://twitter.com/TrueIndology/status/987362796688912384 …

      I would agree with @omarali50 on the westernised leftist Indian not just accepting this but even encouraging this assuming that this would show them as broadminded liberals whose thoughts are acceptable to the West

      I think it is less about finding acceptance in the West (that may b true of some, but NOT common in my experience) but more about the heat of contemporary politics (vs BJP etc) and already (unconsciously?) imbibed notions from 19-20th C Indology?

      The Left narrative predates the rise of BJP. What has happened is the Right is beginning to talk about it. This has brought the issue up front. And we notice both versions more than in the past. I think.

      It does, but there was a kind of "reactionary Hinduism" (the people who rejected liberal western ideals, opposed ucc, nehru, ambedkar etc) even then.. And near total left wing domination of higher education and "high church" intelligentsia means young intellectuals grew up w it?

      What I am trying to say is that it is rarely mendacious "sucking up to western liberals".. People just grew up in the tribe and follow its norms and biases (and some maybe justified 😎).. Western writers more likely to learn from INDIAN friends than vice versa

      Indian elites are also generally much less religious than most Indians. In my experience (entirely anecdotal), Macaulayite Hindus are usually less connected to faith—and so less prone to defend it—than, say, many of their Pakistani Muslim peers.

      True. But there is a new generation of Indians. Who are deeply liberal, in line with our ancient culture. But at the same time, will defend our culture from racist white-supremacists like @AudreyTruschke and her deliberate lies (or more likely, lack of knowledge of our Texts)

      I would argue that you, and a few others who straddle Western learning and Hindu piety, remain the exception rather than the rule. Many in this new generation have little knowledge and plenty of rage. And they are not liberal by any yardstick.

      If that were so, why would my books sell in big numbers, including in Indian languages? I would argue that most young Indians are instinctively liberal & proud. They want to hear liberal modern messages. But from our own Indic and rooted voices. The won't tolerate Elite put-downs

          I can’t answer that. But surely you don’t believe that everyone who reads your books is deeply knowledgeable about Hinduism, and conducts their arguments with tolerance, civility and good spelling. :)

          As the person who wrote the first book on Hinduism to win the Wilbur Award in America - a book written in English - I would still not say that knowledge of English spellings is a criterion. The moment that becomes a filter already a lot of indigenous knowledge is being bypassed.

          I agree with @authoramish that across more than a 100 lectures in India and America now, even today I am lecturing at the University of U-Champaign, I have found my readers and listeners to be open, liberal but also irritated by decades of being sniggered at.

          I don't deny that sometimes anger and lack of articulation leads to problems but it is a two-way street issue. In most cases if people are listened to and spoken to with respect, they are open-minded, liberal, and ready to embrace supple POVs.

          Guys can’t you see Dhume is a polished pisstaker. With every teeet and response he’s slyly mocking you, your values, your ideals, and you’re religious pride because, like me, he don’t give a rat’s behind about your fragile pegs on which you hang your self worth&sectarian honour.

          You tell a good story, man, from what I’ve heard. That’s why people read stories/books. To read a larger civilizational chest-beating narrative is rather vain, no?
