In the first article, taking the word "cults" as a reference to "personality cults" made it a bit easier to read. Hmmm, could be wrong but Subramaniam Swamy does seem to be one of those mentioned (?), while comments confirmed that the 3rd personality cult referred to is indeed Rajeev Malhotra. Not sure who/what the remaining cult is.[/quote]
Malhotra's antics are getting very worrying with publication of his 2nd book which tries to systematize a Hindu theology in explicit contrast to the abrahamists.
As long as he limited himself to the geopolitical (and also did other great incomparable work), his bombast was excusable but now he is has gone beyond.
His approach is Amerikan Corporate with all emphasis on results, performance, and lobby.
His derision and mockery of ordinary Hindus who are not "lobbyist material" is self-defeating and small-minded.
He is free-flowing and indulgent in his criticism of others so I'm not thinking twice about writing this.
The real sentiments behind his fleeting sponsorship of Witzel, his admiring flirts with Clooney, which he says are performed for "Purva Paksha" of the Academia and the Church, are seen [url="http://incognitocomments.wordpress.com/tag/rajiv-malhotra/."]>>here<<[/url].
He has an intolerant streak well demonstrated in how he shut down indictraditions, and renamed Breaking India to, of all things, RajivMalhotraDiscussion.
I am really getting tired of these Aryanists with Anthropology minds trying to paradigm shift Dharma into pale versions of Nat Geo.
