Sanjay Subrahmanyam

"With the rise to prominence of the sangh parivar, an interesting new alliance emerged in the 1980s. Right-wing (at times neo-fascist) European writers had long railed against the migration of Muslims to that continent as ‘guest workers’. Their rabid Islamophobia was at times paired with an ostensible admiration for Hinduism, or at least for certain of its ersatz manifestations."

"So, practically every word in Subrahmanyam’s evaluation is malicious and untrue. […] All it demonstrates is the bullying rhetoric so common in the debate between the scientific and the secularist school of history."
