<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Recovering Indiaâs Past - Contemporary Debates on the History and Civilization of Ancient India</b>
Hello All,
Tommorrow (26th March), there is going to be a talk by Prof. Robert Goldman in ICC Milpitas on the topic ("Recovering Indiaâs Past - Contemporary Debates on the History and Civilization of Ancient India")Â at 6.30 PM.
 You can see more details of this in the link: http://www.indiacc.org/node/523Â
Though Prof. Robert Goldman ( a professor of Sanskrit in Berkeley) has done some work on Valmiki Ramayana, he was one of those people who signed the letter of Michael Witzel to California Textbook Board opposing the changes proposed by Hindu community. By doing this he has supported the Anti-Hindu nature of school text books.
Prof. Goldman wrote an article "Kama, Guilt and Burried Memories" in the book "Vishnu on Freuds Desk". This book uses so called Freudian psychoanalysis and throws filth on Hinduism. Prof. Golman has attacked the fundamental tenets of Hinduism in the most obnoxious manner. He says that Indian children have Oedipus complex (Marrying one's mother). He then says that in India victim of abuse is encouraged to revere or even worship his abuser.  His writing and the critique of it can be seen in the site: http://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/...nu_frameset.htm
Â
 We should oppose these kind of academics who are wrong and abusing towards Hinduism. Many of us are planning to attend tommorrow talk and question him during the question & answer session. It would be great if you can join us. Already 4 or 5 have confirmed.
 By participating tommorrow we can show that Hindus can objectively and accurately point out incorrect writings and the filth that is thrown on Hinduism.
