<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Witzel's pathetic attempt to bring in dalit organizations that do not represent Hindu scheduled castes clearly shows his prejudicial anti-Hindu agenda. He has obviously shifted the goalposts from women's rights and his racist Aryan Invasion Theory to dalit representation. The irony is that Hindus would not object to descriptions of caste abuse in any section pertaining to medieval and modern India. Like Western slavery and feudalism, this is a fact of history. However, it is also a fact that Indian X'tian and Mosie communities still heap the crassest abuse and vituperation, to borrow the Weasel's phraseology, on their dalit converts today. And that lower caste, including SC mobility, is far greater in the Hindu community today than in the Indian X'tian or Mosie communities.
I am really offended by the Weasel's put down of ancient India, his vituperative "sugar-coated version of a hoary, mythical Golden Age that never
was". This coming from a White man whose own culture is infused with notions of a Western Golden Age that includes the Greek and Roman civilizations, and how all knowledge hails back from these seminal sources. Once again indicating that the Weasel is a White supremicist at heart, and his actions are no different from that of other Western Orientalists whose writings Edward Said brilliantly deconstructed. Indology truly = Orientalism!
We must continue to fight and expose Witzel for who he is, an marginal academic clutching to an ancient and discredited school of knowledge, a worthless administrator who has soured more people off his field than he has imparted education to, and a racist and contemptible human being harking to the worst sterotype of his German ancestry. There have been some pretty loathsome and close-minded academic ignoramuses in Harvard during its existence, and Witzel is no different from these lowlife in his actions. His pathetic attempt to leverage his Harvard association in order to browbeat Hindus will fail. His penchant for contemptous ridicule of Hindus in internet forums is well documented, and past students from his department should be contacted in order to further expose this academic reichsfuhrer. And Steve Farmer, if you are reading this, f*ck you, you shiftless parasitic sponge! All the reflected glory that you hope to obtain from your association with Witzel and his Harvard connection does not wash away your pitiful claims for a PhD. In this regard, you are well matched with "Professor" Angana Chatterjee whose shoddy nepotistic academic qualifications are no more valid than yours! <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
