@HindolSengupta Congratulations, my friend! It's a wonderful book and you are an excellent author.

I am absolutely thrilled to receive this wonderful endorsement for my new book Sing, Dance and Pray from the amazing Sudha Murty, one of the greatest living writers of India. She is the living embodiment of the eternal wisdom of India. As she told me - I can call her Ajji.

Deeply grateful for the generosity of the #Jain and #Hindu communities of #NewYork. Sunday, at the Indian Consulate, I received an #Ahimsa (#Nonviolence) Award and a citation from the New York State Assembly. @IndiainNewYork @SuhagAShukla @indumathi37

@SarahLGates1 Not that I’ve heard about.

@SarahLGates1 It’s pretty early for anything peer reviewed to have appeared. That process takes a while. I’m doing another piece on Hinduphobia broadly but not on the conference specifically and it will be a few months before it appears.

@SarahLGates1 Well done!

@SarahLGates1 @aditya_tyagi Agreed. Many don't even want to acknowledge that Hinduphobia exists.

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 Not yet, but it’s on my to-read list (partly due to your enthusiastic recommendations).

@hinduprof @SarahLGates1 Speaking of Gita, have you read Jeffrey Armstrong's new English translation? It is the best I have ever seen!

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 They didn’t mention the Gita, even though Thoreau himself mentions it! 🤦‍♂️

@hinduprof @SarahLGates1 Dude, I remember learning about Emerson and Thoreau in high school and the dirty H word wasn’t mentioned a single time. Nor was the Gita.

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 Excuse me, Hindu thought. (Not “Hindu though”).

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 And they read Emerson and Thoreau in high school without learning about their indebtedness to Hindu though. Hello? A poem called “Brahma”?

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 And it’s ALL most students remember about Hinduism from high school.

@aditya_tyagi @SarahLGates1 YES.
