"TBFS is a book about Sanskrit written in English by an author who is not a Sanskrit scholar. For such a book, to receive endorsements from some of the finest contemporary Sanskrit scholars from India is quite an achievement, even more so when some of them co-opt the terminology of the author in their endorsements. Any Indian Sanskrit author would love to get endorsements from scholars like Dayananda Bhargava, 45 Ramesh Kumar Pandey, 46 K. S. Kannan, 47 Sampadananda Mishra, 48 K. Ramasubramanian, 49 and Kapil Kapoor. 50 Co- opting Malhotraās terminology, Bhargava, who has been interpreting Sanskrit works for the last sixty years, writes that the book āpromotes a debate between the āinsidersā and āoutsidersā of our heritageā and states, ā... most insiders are either blissfully unaware ... or are living in isolationā. Kannan, who translated Malhotraās Being Different into Kannada as Vibhinnate, says āthe responsibility now lies squarely on traditional Indian scholars to take on the issues between insiders and outsiders which this book has framedā and that Malhotraās contribution is āthis valuable role as the prime initiator of this dialogueā."
