[Reader-list] [Fwd: Re: Assault upon the Delhi University History]

[Vivek Narayanan]

Dear Radhikarajen,

You have not replied to my question below, but have made several other 
digressions since.  Do you think the essay by A.K. Ramanujan is 
denigrating to Hinduism, yes or no?  If yes, please quote at least one 
sentence or phrase from the essay to back up your claim.

Waiting for your answer,
Vivek

Dear Radhikarajen,

Can you show me exactly how, and where, the essay by A.K. Ramanujan is 
denigrating to Hinduism?   Please quote at least one sentence, or even 
one phrase, if you can, from the essay which denigrates Hinduism.  (I'm 
assuming that you have actually read the complete essay.)

As far as I can tell, Ramanujan's essay is a great tribute to Hindu 
(and, more generally, South Asian) storytelling traditions.
