(this was originally posted by Vishal agarwal in another site)SUPPORTING MLBD: Let us act positive here now. We need to thank Motilal
Banarsidass for their principles stand. Their email is mlbd@vsnl.com and it
should be addressed to Rajeev Jain. More than that, let us place an order
for their books, either directly from outside India or via our relatives in
India. In case some of us have been their patrons (for instance I have
purchased Rs 15000 worth of books in 2001-2002 and the order for 2003 has
been sent via a friend in India), let us remind them of this. Please visit
their website at [url="http://www.newagebooksindia.com/link.htm"]http://www.newagebooksindia.com/link.htm[/url]
I urge you to place an order soon, either directly from the US or via your
friends in India. Their books are priced very reasonably. And they have tons
of titles of great worth.
Of course, do not buy books by Patrick Olivelle, Cynthia Humes (not that she
has any), Robert Zydenbos (not that he would have any) and so on. If they
boycott and intimidate Hindus, we will boycott their books.
Please, Please spread this message (especially the part on buying books from
MLBD, and thanking them via letters) on various lists of Indians and Hindus.
We really need to do this as a token of our appreciation. The owners of MLBD
are devout Hindus/Jains, a fact I know for sure through mutual acquaitances.
They see their work not merely as a profession but also as a dharmic act. We
need to support them. Remember that MLBD has completed 100 yrs of their
existence and are currently offering an additional 10% discount for all
purchases above Rs 500.
