<b>Hinduism expert to give talk at Stanford</b>
An expert on Hinduism and mythology who co-wrote a <b>new translation of the Kama Sutra </b> <!--emo&

Wendy Doniger, University of Chicago professor of the history of religions, will discuss ``Self-Imitation in Ancient India, Shakespeare and Hollywood'' in a lecture Feb. 23 and a lecture-discussion Feb. 24. The first will begin at 7 p.m. in Room 190 of the Law School, 559 Nathan Abbott Way. The second will be at 4 p.m. in the Stanford Humanities Center, which is sponsoring the events.
Doniger's courses in Hinduism cover a broad spectrum that, in addition to mythology, considers literature, law, gender and ecology. In their new translation of the Kama Sutra, she and Sudhir Kakar, India's leading psychoanalyst of sex, declare the original English translation, of 1883 by Sir Richard Francis Burton, to be inaccurate in that it downplayed a woman's sexual satisfaction and freedom. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Malhotra's point was that Wendy Doniger and her brood both misrepresent Hinduism and insult it, and that they essentially indulge in intellectual terrorism. The responses were quite interesting. One Patrick Hogan (apparently a Wendy's Child) came back with the rash, superficial, patronizing and inane Ten Reasons Why Anyone Who Cares About Hinduism Should Be Grateful To Wendy Doniger. When his arguments were soundly thrashed by lay readers - indeed thoroughly and systematically demolished - Hogan refused to respond.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
