All these channels are in India now and Rupert Murdoch has bought Hinduism Today.
Unless we have Indian chennel for our own history we will get rubbish from western and other history.

ha haa hha. No it is not true. On April 1st they had 5 articles - all of them were April Fool's Day Prank. The one I totally fell was for the Texas school board deciding the Pi value to be 3 instead of 3.14~. Then when I read that Rupert Murdoch bought Hinduism Today, then I smelled rat. When I googled, I saw the Pi prank was an older one.
HT has come out and admitted it the pranks. They have categorically denied they will ever be sold to Rupert Murdoch.
G.Sub: As for the White monks from Hawaii, unfortunately or fortunately they have the best multi-media presentation and information dissemination of Hinduism. I bought their book on Hinduism. It is top-notch. HAF uses their material. Motilal Publishers are talking to them, so are other book publishers in India. The current head of the monastery is touring India and meeting so many other swamijis. They have a good following in Mauritius, S.E.Asia, Srilanka.
The # of Hindus in America, which HAF came out with was sourced from the Himalayan Academy (the publication arm of the Kauai Monastery).
They have been always on the right side of the battle for the Hindus. If they are rats, then they are the greatest rats ever.
