Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

We had some interesting discussions about the Wendy Doniger article, including systemic bias (even though I respectfully disagree with some of your points of view).
I invite you to read an interesting perspective on academic study of religion, albeit not from a professor (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suhag-a-shukla-esq/academic-integrity-its-wh_b_4961453.html).
I am very troubled AAR's support of "any interpretation." In any academic discipline, interpretations should be supported, either through empirical data or research. The text of any writing (especially in Sanskrit) can be interpreted with many meanings but logic dictates that only plausible ones hold. In law, a statute or a treaty provision cannot be read in isolation but within the context of the law.
Yes, it is possible that a word can have 3 or 4 meanings, but one must interpret a word in light of the surroundnng text to see if it is plausible. I wish I had a good example in English.
Please review and let me know your comments.

I think you are confusing the issues. Heliocentrism or evolution relates to scientific issues that are remotely tangential to religion. To be a Christian does not require you that believe that the sun revolves around the earth. You simply have to accept Jesus.
Interpretation is a different thing. On other hand, scientific theory is different. The fact that the earth revolves around the sun or human evolution is either unquestionable (in the case of the earth's revolving) or supported by overwhelmingly strong scientific evidence ( fossil record or molecular analysis; that's why evolution is phrased a scientific theory vs a scientific law whose evidence is unquestionable (Boyle's law of gases, Newton's laws of motion).
Yes, the overwhelming scientific evidence favors man's origins in Africa, but since evolution is considered a scientific theory, it does not mean that Hindu theories regarding geography are wrong because in the area of evolution, scientists, unlike many areas of physics and chemistry admit that there are holes. As you may not be aware, not all adhere to out of Africa theory. See Wikipedia article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiregional_origin_of_modern_humans. In this theory, different groups of Homo erectus species evolved in different regions giving rise to Africans, Chinese, etc.
Interpretation of a text is a very different thing, by contrast with scientific evidence. You can't question Newton's laws of motion. But interpreting a text is a very different things as one word can have multiple meanings (you have to admit that), and some of the interpretations (as alleged by Doniger's opponents are less likely plausible.
Yes, HAF does not have academic experts, but that is a fault of systemic bias, as I argued in the Talk section for the Doniger. Regarding Shiva, etc, you can never prove matters of religion. For example, in Christianity, some even question whether Christ was crucified, or whether he was single (i.e., married). No organization, religious or otherwise, (HAF included) can provide a perspective on that. That is an article of faith or belief, which we cannot prove by scientific evidence. Until the 1600s, we could not see bacteria (because the microscope was not invented). Does that mean bacteria are not there? Scientific tools can prove things that exist in nature, but matters of faith are outside the purview of science.However, with matters of faith, there's no point on arguing about matters of faith because there can never be an answer.
But we can have a perspective on an interpretation of a verse, because words have meaning and have to be interpreted in the context of the text. That is something that both sides of the debate can hold.
You seem to imply that any interpretation can hold weight in religious studies. Academic disciplines have to be supported by evidence, and an interpretation that is less plausible should be given less weight. I am not saying Doniger's interpretation is wrong but it is less likely plausible. Some can interpret a crucifix as a phallic symbol, but such an interpretation is not likely plausible. I don't think you would agree with that interpretation. So you can see why many Hindus were offended by Doniger's interpretations. The problem in Sanskrit is that every word can have many interpretations, and can be different even in its pronunciation. That I think is the heart of issue. Doniger is an Indologist, but is she a professor of Sanskrit (i.e., linguistics, etc? You can be a professor of German studies but that does not mean that a person is a professor of German (i.e., linguistics, etc). It would be interesting to see such views of professors, who would be skilled in Sanskrit etymology, etc.
If the religious academy in the West really wants a debate, then they should invite serious scholars to debate this (we should see if there are qualified Sanskrit scholars in India or elsewhere to debate this, not people like the churchmen critical of Galileo (who are not open to reason).
Regarding HAF, members of HAF (http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?262511#1) have pointed out many academic deficiencies with Doniger. Please read the whole article. They cited "Prof. Michael Witzel, Wales Professor of Sanskrit in the Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies at Harvard University [who] posted the following remarks about Doniger's translations to a mailing list and called her translations "UNREALIABLE" [sic] and "idiosyncratic:"
So if her translation is unreliable, how can she get a proper interpretation?
Also, you are correct that you don't have to be a member of a religion to be an expert. The same outlook article states that "Hindu society acknowledges and celebrates any genuine scholars of Hinduism, irrespective of their gender, race or caste. For example, the late Sir John Woodroffe / Arthur Avalon is regarded by even the most traditional and orthodox of Hindu acharyas, including the late Shankaracharya of Sringeri, as one of the great Tantric scholars of modern times—despite his being [not] * * * Hindu."
Thanks for your thoughts.
Hi Fowler, have a look here. The first article talks about her reaction on the law. What do you think about using that as a quote instead of following section:

Why is branding some as Hindutva is being allowed because of believing in alternate theories about Indus Valley civilization. Even the link posted there is of certain book where don't refer to Hindutva. Historians like B. B. Lal was former Director General of Archaeological survey of India and he supports theory of association of Saraswati river with Indus Valley civilization. Ashok4himself (talk) 16:30, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
I read the citation in the googlebook and nowhere found the mention of the term Hindutva groups from page 28-32 as given in the reference. You can verify it too. http://books.google.co.in/books?id=dEBY37og6PYC&pg=PR4&lpg=PR4&dq=A+Global+History+of+Architecture.+Hoboken,+N.J.:+J.+Wiley+%26+Sons&source=bl&ots=gbAan3Genj&sig=wlN4UK4_QfKFpL5ZBYBP1rvrmpc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=F4MkU4WwNeygige0yoCIDQ&ved=0CEEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

Hi Fowler and Fowler; thanks so much for your message on my page. I am, as you noted, a new Wikipedia editor, and this is the first time I have been motivated to correct what I perceived as somewhat misleading selection of materials on the page at hand. I understand and of course agree that scholarly reviews take precedent over popular ones; however, His Majesty's Opponent seems to have been published as a trade book, and most of the reviews were accordingly published in more popular outlets. The three which I had listed and which you have glossed as trade reviews were authored by professional historians at Cambridge and Jawaharlal Nehru University, as well as a now-retired Calcutta University historian. The Wainwright review that you mention is fairly equivocal in its content (it does indeed note that Bose's speculation as to Subhas Chandra's impact had he remained alive is not persuasive), while the Zachariah review is more resoundingly negative. I am not sure as to why a book which has received broad positive accolades from scholars should be cast in such a damning way here, though all of these changes appear to have been made in the wake of Bose's nomination as a TMC Lok Sabha candidate. Please let me know your thoughts; I would love to find language here that is not as inaccurately damning as I believe these edits are. Many thanks, and thanks for your wonderful work evident in so many contributions to Indian history here. Humanshu (talk) 19:27, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Couldn't ping you. OccultZone (Talk) 13:13, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Fowler&fowler,
I was wondering whether you could clear something up for me which is causing me a bit of confusion. I noticed it was you that made the following edit on the article entitled "Princely State": https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Princely_state&diff=236917278&oldid=236916517
You've written: "52 States in Burma: all except the Karen States were included in British India".
However, on the article entitled "British Raj", under the sub-heading "Princely States", it says: "The princely states did not form a part of British India (i.e. the presidencies and provinces), as they were not directly under British rule."
The two statements appear to contradict one another - however, as I don't know the subject matter very well, I have no doubt that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation. I was just wondering whether you could shed some light on it.
All the best and kind regards,

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Would you mind if I start a discussion on the talk page asking comments? Thanks --Tito Dutta (talk) 11:39, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
