in case you wanted some hilarious bedside reading. this stuff is phd material? i am embarrassed that my alma mater, stanford, awarded a phd to this bloke for this sort of stuff. just shows how bad the state of the humanities is in even the best american universities.

Thanks Ram for pointing that out, I have been thinking about this for a while, and it seems to be that we are unnecessarily getting worked up over the historical aspects of Hinduism. I remember reading a post by Rajiv Malhotra where he mentions the lack of any need for historical veracity as one of the strengths of Hinduism. If that is so, shouldnt the textbooks emphasise more on what is Hinduism rather than its origins? I'm sure any spiritual guru wouldnt give a toss about the origins either. Correct me please if I am wrong.
