There is a Hindu world-view and it is struggling to find its place under the sun. This struggle has to be a real one and only criteria for success is excellence and performance. Performance in the sense of how it shapes arts, sciences, technologies, architecture, politics and economic development.
This world-view can not be defended by suppressing contending thoughts. Such victimhood complex, widely prevalent, is not going to heal any injury or resolve any felt historical tension.

Mate, you better stick to desi things such as telangana or khaps or panchayats or muslims. Let intellectuals handle literary issues.
The Ban on this Book and its subsequent withdrawal by penguin is nothing but a ploy to market the book. Now when the book comes out of ban which it eventually would almost all literate Indian will read it.

The book is not banned. The publisher will not sell the book in India only, but will sell all over the world outside India.
Psycho analysis especially the Freudian version can be dangerous in hands of wrong people they normally have very less understanding of the technique and lack complete objectivity thus the so called analysis is nothing but their own hidden desires and fallacies pushed on a certain soft target in this case Hindus.
Here is my take what if I look at this so called author Wendy read few excerpts from her book and do a psych analysis of her claiming that she is probably a sexually starved person and a victim of self abuse who is using such flawed analysis of Hinduisim to actually portray her own feelings ?
