Invading the Sacred - An Analysis of Hinduism Studies in America

The book Invading the Sacred - An Analysis of Hinduism Studies in America uncovers the invisible networks behind a Hindu phobia especially in the American Academy that is systematically undermining core icons and ideals of Hindu culture and thought. The book contains a series of essays written by academicians and professionals and is edited by Krishnan Ramaswamy, Antonio de Nicolas and Aditi Banerjee.

Some examples of undermining Hinduism

The Bhagavad Gita is a dishonest book.
Ganesha's trunk is a limp phallus.
Devi is the mother with a penis.
Shiva is a notorious womanizer and violent.
Sri Ramakrishna is a pedophile who molested the young Swami Vivekananda.
The bindi is a drop of menstrual fluid.

There are more of these types of findings and modern interpretations of Hinduism and its symbols in American academy.

The book Invading the Sacred - An Analysis of Hinduism Studies in America uncovers the senile people behind such monstrous accusations and the Indian Diaspora's challenges to such scholarship. The book also details how those who dared to speak up against such misinterpretations have been branded as ‘dangerous.’

The book is published by Rupa and more details about the book and discussion forum on the book can be found here.
