So, it was a Frenchman/woman who wrote on the subject. So what? It's not as if there is going to be a sea-change in the views of the rest of the world! That is the reason why I said it is only of academic interest. Btw, I am immensely interested in history too but will readily admit that even if this work is considered to be one of ground-breaking importance, the waves will be confined merely to the academic circles. The common people of the world have no use for it. And even more important, the common people of India would have no use for it either. Also if the present is nothing to write home about, no amount of harping about a glorious past is going to change the future. On the contrary, too much of harping on this issue might even be dangerous -- it could make the present generation bitter and angry about those who exploited them in the past, and incite them to seek "revenge" by targeting the religious minorities of India, as if they were "legal heirs" of those who ruled over India in the past. This is not far-fetched. In fact, this is exactly how things have been shaping up in the past few years in India. Dipy.
