Mudy, you ought to read Shourie's book called Eminent Historians: Their Technology, Their Line, Their Fraud . An entire chapter is dedicated to this Jha character. He not only lies but he's abusive towards Hindu icons and deities. Had he uttered same carp with respect to other religions, he'd be on streets by now. Of course that's the right kind of qualifications to rise up the ICHR ladder.
His shoddy research and scholarly work is say on par with that of Witzel and Wolpert. I am even surprised that HAF didn't contest this guy's presence - affidavit or no affidavit.
A friend has borrowed this book, I'll post excerpts from there when I get the book back. Some sample of Jha's work:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"Lord Indra is rowdy and amoral (pg. 18). The God Krishna has a rather questionable personal record (pg. 91). Lord Shiva is just a development of Phallic cults (pg. 90). Bhakti is just the reflection of the complete
dependence of the serfs or tenants on the landowners in the context of Indian feudal society (pg.xvii)."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
