I don't know how to praise the very scholastic and intellectual way you have written the article. Perhaps the most critical and argumentative one I have come across in the entire series on the controversy relating to historicity of Ram.
I think intellect built progressively on this kind of investigative and critical mind that gave India her beautiful Sanskrit literature on an individual's quest to self-realisation. No doubt your article is an inspiring read.
I happened to read 'Invading the Sacred' some time back and totally agree with you on what Western Indologists have done to India and her past through their writings.
We need more such essays on other such issues. It is amazing you find time to write despite having a stressful job of a Police Commissioner. Please keep up writing. I would like to someday see an anthology of your writings being published into a hardback!
I am not sure if I am going to write such investigation. But I am certainly into propagation and I think I just have hit a valuable source full of intelligent arguments. They certainly need to be appreciated by a wider audience not connected to the internet!
