Spam, but about something Malhotra has tweeted and which has been picked up and retweeted and favourited by his uncritical fandom.
^ Where Malhotra's wrought an 'armour' with so many chinks in it that even a blind enemy shooting a parting shot like a Parthian from a bounding horse in Hindus' direction can't fail to hit vitals. What to speak of inculturating christianism aiming tight.
Despite repeated and resounding praise for Malhotra, have to stick with the old assessment:
intellectuals among visible/vocalist Indian nationalists are not just scarce but non-existent.
And same old complaints about lay Hindus following blindly: lack of independent thought and they readily surrender better (or any) judgement to people prone to missteps - including severe ones.
Anyway, here is The Great One again - not even trying to be an intellectual, though he surely was (and would still be ahead of his time if he were transplanted to present-day India):
- The peerless Emperor of the ethnic Hellenes demanded nothing less than the complete reversion from the christian converts of his ethnic kind, as the minimum - as the entrance fee, if you will - to granting them access to any part of his sacred heathenism.
- And like the wise L/D/Nakota of the Americas have done, Hindoos should further say an absolute No to all alien dabbling (from "converts" to indologists and 'neo-pagans', often seen sampling different heathenisms like 'twere some buffet).

Quote:[Julian's] revulsion at [christians'] efforts to assimilate (=inculturate on) the literary and philosophic heritage of the Greeks without accepting the religious values voiced in it. To Julian's mind, that seemed wreckage, not assimilation.
On this point Julian's stance was basic and closed to argument: 'Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.'"
