All I can say in its favour is that there are even more anti-Hindu institutes, though they too collect Hindu money under false pretexts and have a good laugh afterwarts.<br />Koenraad Elsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503713923882807510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-32270175462528203062014-10-04T13:21:22.736-07:002014-10-04T13:21:22.736-07:00Dr. Elst, you have emphasized several times in you...Dr. Elst, you have emphasized several times in your posts the importance of establishing centers of genuine Hindu scholarship in academia.

Many in India have hailed him as a Deshpremee fighting against British imperial power.<br />He massacred Hindus in my home town and nearby places and in Goa, destroyed temples, Hindus put idols of many temples in wells to escape him. As usual Left and Secular historians say these happened only to the forces who resisted his advance and he destroyed temples to loot the wealth and not because of jihadism. Secularists/ leftists and many people in Karnataka state treat him as a ruler who cared for the people irrespective of their religion and who donated to Hindu temples there and consulted Hindu priests. Many history books and a serial in Doordarshan made by Bollywood yesteryear actor Sanjay Khan account for this attitude. Today in a leading daily in Malayalam (known for its vote bank readership Muslim appeasing and pseudo secularism policies) in its Sunday supplement a dreamy leftist/secularist has written a lead article on Tipu's benevolence towards Hindu temples in Karnataka. He found out a special puja still offered in the famous Mookambika Temple near Mangalore in Karnataka in Sultan's name as an example for these. Kindly say something on Tipu Sultan's true color.madhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086293745498817076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-15128050855319710192014-09-26T20:54:17.439-07:002014-09-26T20:54:17.439-07:00The Allahabad High Court Judgment apportioning the...The Allahabad High Court Judgment apportioning the property amongst three parties is an eye opener on the duplicity of leftist and liberal historians who staked their personal reputation for passing off half truths. That judgment also records many archaeological details. Until the supreme court decides the appeal and the Hindus take possession of two thirds of property allocated to them, this issue will lie dormant.
