"And ultimately it should Hindus who get to decide the meaning of Hinduism."
Why? Cause I doubt they would agree. To say unless you are X then you can't comment on X is foolish.
- z3phyr 13y agoThe book does not mention anything as foolish IMHO.
- cubancigar11 13y agoIf it is foolish to you, then so be it. To categorically ignore the power play implied by defining a section without any input from it (and ignore rest of the comment, I suppose, along with the book and its criticism) seems intelligent to you then so be it. I am deeply aware of my inability to explain what has already been explained by others, so I resign. "Cause I doubt they would agree." That should tell the complexity of defining Hinduism and the amateurish level western 'Indologists' have achieved which they spread around, calling any criticism to their approach 'foolish'.
