Shri Parrikar forgets that on the Internet, it is possible to talk to

all sorts of Indians, and not all of them share his own views. So the

question is "whose time warp".

I am really sorry to hear that Shri Parrikar and his ilk doesn't wash. I

know that adviced from honkeys is unwelcome, so I won't suggest soap and

water.

I am not ascribing motives. Malhotra is perfectly open and plain about

his programme of influence.

Now this is an interesting insinuation. It can be turned all sorts of

ways. But in my case it is simply wrong. My salary does not depend on my

Indological views. Firstly, because I make my living running a

translation business where Indology is not relevant, and secondly,

because my views would not have had any influence on my salary if I had

been teaching Indology at the university.

 

Warm regards,
