I request all the members of BVP to take a print out of the message at the beginning of this thread and the brochure shared in the message and paste it on the notice boards of your educational /research institute and /or pass it on to any  educational /research institute that you know to be placed on their notice boards.

Already, the invitation on the Indology list has received negative comments from one Walter Slaje. The gentleman in question selectively gives some quotes from BVP to show the "ideological" direction which "things" are taking at present. (Here, I am struggling to remember what ideology I hold). He either forgets or is wilfully ignorant of the fact that members here represent diverse viewpoints and we are in general not blindly anti-non-Indian. Nor is every member here a scholar (example: myself). It appears that for people like Walter, swadeshi is a bad word which needs to be looked down upon with all the condescension that it deserves. Too bad for Walter, the days of colonialism are long gone.

Thanks for updating us the the kind of suffocation the 'other' is facing Kalyan ji. It reminds us the direction less commies that are going astry in India.

>  The gentleman in question selectively gives some quotes from BVP 

Thanks Sri Kalyan-ji for pointing out the selective quotes and partial representation in Indology list by Prof. Walter Slaje amounting to misrepresentation. 

Partial because :

1. Not all the posts on the BVP list have got to do with ideology or viewpoint because most of the posts are in the form of are asking for book sources are references from books. 

2. Next to such posts come the posts seeking 'guidance' in matters of 'Hindu' practices. To some Indian members themselves these posts may appear to be non-scholarly or unacademic. But let us remember that these posts are addressed to scholars for authentic guidance from praamaaNika sources and the scholars provide scholarly responses providing references from books and other sources. 

I pointed out earlier too that dealing with classics content of which is no longer in the living practice of people is different from dealing with classics content of which is in the living practice of people. A researcher from outside the culture on some other list might post a question , " how is this item in this Sanskrit text practised by people? What is the textual reference supporting such practice? ".The member on this list might post a question, " how should this item be practised by me? What is the textual reference supporting such practice?" That is the difference. Here, the answers come from greter authorities in such matters than in the other forums where enquirer and the answering person may be at an equal level in the knowledge of the matters. 

3. Posts from non-scholars or beginners or learners mostly cover grammar or etymology and other such usage aspects of Sanskrit too. BVP has a name as a forum where non-scholars or beginners or learners can seek guidance from stalwarts in such matters. For a very long time, BVP was known as a forum where such prakriyaa /siddhi aspect of vyaakaraNa dominates the discussions and intense discussions and debates of such nature run endlessly being enjoyed by both the participating scholars and learners seeking guidance. Even today, this tendency of BVP continues to a large extent. 

None of the above three kinds of posts which form the majority of the posts here have any scope for ideological positions. 

4. Yes, though less in number, there are always posts here having scope for ideological positions. When issues with such scope come for discussion, members taking a position of respect for Sanskrit, Sanskrit studies, India, Indians, Indian culture etc. which are the subject matter of Indology are more in number here than in other forums where members studying this subject matter of Indology but not those who form part of the subject matter itself of Indology are more in number. Here, because the people who are the subject matter of Indology themselves are discussing Indology, positive rather than the negative attitude towards the subject matter predominates the posts. 

Among such posts there are both rigorous scholarly ones and naive and non-rigorous expressions of emotions from the non-scholarly members. 

The ones that were quoted on the Indology list are chosen from those by a non-scholarly zealot member. 

As you rightly noted, particularly in the thread on the Leonardo da Vinci topic, there were different views most of them without such zealous and emotional expressions  as those quoted in the Indology list. But none of them got quoted there. 

Only the  zealous and emotional expressions of a non-scholarly member got quoted there as if those represent the approach of all the posts on BVP and are a basis for the tone of the BVP conference. 

If this is an expression of displeasure at members taking a position of respect for Sanskrit, Sanskrit studies, India, Indians, Indian culture etc. which are the subject matter of Indology being more in number here, so be it. 

But taking a small portion of a small portion of the whole topics on the list to create a certain impression about the list does not reflect neither fairness nor good scholarship.

[Bijoy Misra]

The whole Indology process has been to see India as the third person.

For people of Indian descent, the process is either first or second.

An Indologist understands a text through translation, a person of

Indian descent absorbs the information by hearing!

The translated texts have made a literature of their own and are then read

by people in descent to learn about their own culture!  This is history.

BVP helps in providing an empowerment of this weakened population!

I admire the zeal and enthusiasm of many who keep the knowledge dissemination

in this forum.  We explore knowledge.  We don't read canned translations!

Rajiv had coined the phrase "open architecture".  I love it!
