There is a reason why this writer is in the police force and not at an academic institute. This is such a rambling, superficial treatment of the question of the authenticity of Ram that it does damage to possibly legitimate scholars of the subject.
I wrote a paper like this when I was in 9th grade. My high school teacher gave me a C- for its lack of thought and evidence. I was lucky I didn't fail his class. It doesn't matter whether the paper is questioning so-called "Western" ideas or "Indian" ideas, any piece of writing that calls itself evidence and proof must hold itself to certain standards. Singh's article is a painful example of what happens when you have never been schooled or taken the patience to go through the schooling process yourself. Dr. Singh, the standards of good science and by association, good writing are universal. They are not Indian or "Western", because they are based on high standards of what can be accepted as truth.
