I couldn&#8217;t immediately respond.

What is the heritage of the 19th century scholarship in this area? What prejudices can be traced in the classrooms on Indian traditions? Here is a summary of the questions [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rethinkingreligion.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5988580&amp;post=342&amp;subd=rethinkingreligion&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The Ghent team (supported by several members of the audience) once more observed that communal strife has only increased in India.
