Rajesh_g's posts 178 and 180 of this thread and that of Dhu in the Unmasking AIT thread (at some point after post 192) led me to Balangangadhara's work.
Just in case this has not been posted at IF yet:
- http://colonial.consciousness.googlepages....ninhisblindness - online book The Heathen In His Blindness
- http://letsbuildanation.org/heathen/ - contains links to many useful correspondences of Balagangadhara and that of Jakob de Roover.
Of which I read through the following two yesterday and thought they were really good:

Not sure I understand or agree with all of it, but do with most of it. But in any case, it's all very interesting and quite sensible. Lots of food for thought. I think all Indians really ought to read his work, it makes me understand things better (he explains stuff really well and at the right speed for me).
