Scholars studying Hindu texts is not offensive to Hindus. What is though, is the racist perversion that some of them like Doniger make. Doniger's book is not "banned". It was withdrawn by the publisher - because it was offensive. Details in same wiki link. Another such "scholar" wrote extremely offensive passage on Lord Ganesha and got away with it.[1] Hindus have tolerated abuse for so long and they continue to do so. Try letting cats out of the bag on Abrahmic religions.

I guess the withdrawal of Doniger's book had nothing to do with violent threats and protests against the publisher? Dark western forces at work in false flag attacks, I presume.

  Doniger and the publisher were taken to court like any civil society would. Publisher chose to drop the book instead of facing legal consequences. By the way, another publisher did publish the same book in India. Any neutral sources for the so called "violent threats"? One of her book titles literally is "Eroticism in the Mythology of Siva" [1] And yet, there were no riots or burning down the publisher or the cancel culture that Hindu-phobes routinely engage in.

    Oh, it's you again? I suppose Penguin can't be trusted when they say one of the reasons they withdrew the book was the safety of their employees? Great job manipulating language to make it seem like Hindus are being oppressed though. As people say on the internet, "muh hindu khatre mein hain!!!?!". I wish you death before you cause the death of my country.
