"Women, R̥g-vedá, incest, and Jews"

Review from nikhil on discord -

"Women, R̥g-vedá, incest, and Jews" is one of the funniest paper titles I've read but also probably the worst Vedic-related paper I've ever read in my life.

He uses the most flimsy evidence possible to try to demonstrate that brother–sister and parent–child incest were actually accepted to some degree in Vedic times.

He makes an obvious error every few sentences. With such people one starts to wonder if this academic exercise is just an expression of their personal sexual fetishes.

Reminder that just because someone writes a long Twitter thread or a long paper, it does not in the slightest indicate that the thread or the paper has any actual value.
