Title: Simple Mlechha
Review: This Book is Great. Every page of it makes very insightful and intresting reading. It can hardly be bettered in the Subject its dealing with. But, I guess he may not be wholly impartial in his assessments and retains i guess some "Mlechha" attitude. I know the authors reputation and this might appear silly but at a few places he makes some sweeping statements which appear to be made without much proof.Following are some such sweeping statements.1. Comparing vedic culture to a culture that bears a generic likeness to that of 'Beowulf' who were semi-barbarians.2.'and was somehow less advanced than that depicted in the Iliad.3."BUT IN GENERAL THE MUSLIMS WERE REASONABLY TOLERANT "Its tough to find any scholar agreeing with this view point. This is almost exclusively of AL BASHAM.Lot more like this but believe me!.
