Invading the Sacred: Academia's Bias Against Hinduism Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Ravi Joshi

Another classic from our radio archives that we recently discovered, these 2009 episodes involve a conversation with Ravi Joshi of Medha Journal. While most often our interviews are with the actual authors, this time we analyze a book that was written by someone else. Invading the Sacred is the seminal work of Rajiv Malhotra, a longtime critic of how Hindu Dharma is taught at the college level. It's a riveting discussion that unveils a prejudice that few outside of the Hindu community are aware of. Theme music "Nigal."
