Hello friends,
It seems that Wizel, Thapar and Co are the ones who have politicized the issue.
One needs to ask themselves why would two academics be interested in taking sides in Indian politics?
Since they have no evidence to support their claims, they yell hindutva just to put their opponents on the defensive, although someone needs to inform these worthies that true scholaraship is based on facts regardless of politics of the persons involved including Hindu Nationalists.
One more point I would like to make is that opponents of AIT should be doing the questioning and making the supporters of it come up with any hard evidence. It seems that we are stuck trying to prove a negative while the burden of proof should be on the proponents of this white supremacist theory.
Anyway, we can do more to expose this anti-hindu bigots by cooperating with groups like
