Max Muller was nothing more than a cultural imperalist. It should be noted that he was not an independent scholar buit was authorized by the imperial English government to translate our epics. It was a western agenda to show the epics in poor light, so as to convince the Indians our civilization was not so old as believed and that the Western civlization was superior.
What is more shameful is the fact that Max is still highly revered in India. It is time that all the Max Muller Bhavans in India are closed.

Terrible mentality - if you don't agree with someone's views, throw them out of the country...You have to beat good old max with your own arguments, not by closing their bhavans. They teach german and are good guys.
