Well that is your opinion (and point). To "those" people it might not be too much.

Exactly!
There are two sides to every story.
I have heard mostly one side since my childhood - the side where my ancestors were uncivilised brutes who oppressed people until peaceful and loving faiths came in and started the process of setting everything right. That is one story and if "others" have not heard enough, they are fortunate in that they can keep hearing it.
But there is another side to the story that willnot go away and that "others" may not like, and that's tough luck. They will just have to swallow it. That is the narrative that was private within my home and within hundreds of millions of Hindu homes. That narrative is going to have to come out and we had better bring it out.
So why worry if this story is "too much" for others. That is their problem. My problem extends only so far as they try to suppress my story which is hardly demonic in the way that it is made out to be.
