that has been done over and over. Exact translations have been provided. Not one says what she claims.

No connection here. The one and only one mistake she made was to use the term "loose translation" rather than "here's my interpretation using colloquial language of today".Much like a prof illustrating using colloquial lang what Hamlet is really getting athttps://twitter.com/rupasubramanya/status/987987787780632576 …

"Interpretation" doesn't mean a 'scholar' adds things NOT there in the Text. Charitable explanation: She is a low-quality scholar Uncharitable explanation: She's a racist Hinduphobe Possible explanation: She's a PR junkie trying to sell her low-quality books through controversy

Writing a gloss or interpretation very much means using your own words and many professors teaching works in classical languages or hard to read for present generation will engage in this kind of exercise. Perfectly legit academic activity.

Then she should be ready to take heat for such language. One medical professor wrote this in criticism('kiss my ASTRAL') of trial ASTRAL -he got called out when he was found to be wrong and had a career setback as an academic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20095015/ …

No. Academics are supposed to be careful with words in their field of work. That distinguishes them from trolls n journalists.

When she says loose translation, I say it's deliberate malice, knowingly done to rile Hindus. When caught, decides to escape by providing biased English translations. She and her ilk are interested in denigrating to forward their agendas.

Rupa - shall we start loosely translate your words and attribute scandalous things to you? I don’t agree with agnipariksha and sita vanvas episode and laxman, hanuman also objected which is documented in Ramayan. These fake scholars r out there to demean Hinduism that’s it.

So no excuses for her. She used those words deliberately. To provoke and garner attention. She's achieved what she set out to do. Does she regret using those words. Clearly not. Because Hindus. BTW. She's made it clear that she hates "Hindutva". Another loose translation.

That Sita was critical of Ram was never in question. That aspect is a huge part of the epic. Would Valmiki have had Sita use the words "misogynistic pig" in his narration? Audrey being a scholar would certainly know that's not so. She used her FOE for loose translation here.

Going by what Dr Ambedkar said about Gandhiji at different times ( especially in that BBC interview), can any scholar after loosely translating it in colloqial terms say that Ambedkar used such derogatory words about Gandhiji. I don't think he/she can.

The only good & wise thing to do for
