It is quite important to know the background and the nature of the person as to why or how he or she think’s…One of the best tools is HINDU astrology..We definitely would like to know what sort of mind a person has when he or she looks at Hinduism and does he even have the capacity to understand the Spiritual aspect of Hinduism..

Now we look at India from a point of View when Wendy was not even Born . lets read the book By Mégasthénès

 

Ancient India as described by Megasthenês and Arrian  By Mégasthénès, E. A. Schwanbeck, Arrian

 

Ancient India as described by Ptolemy: being a translation of the chapters ... By Ptolemy, John Watson McCrindle

 

Then that should be enough for the follower’s  of Wendy Doniger. We have another traveller who visited India –From Chinese point of view

http://www.hinduwisdom.info/India_and_China.htm    Hsuang Tsang

Gerolamo Emilio Gerini (1860 -1913) has said: “During the three or four centuries, preceding the Christian era, we find Indu (Hindu) dynasties established by adventurers, claiming descent from the Kshatriya potentates of northern India, ruling in upper Burma, in Siam and Laos, in Yunnan and Tonkin, and even in most parts of southeastern China."  The Chinese literature of the third century is full of geographic and mythological elements derived from India. "I see no reason to doubt," comments Arthur Waley in his book, The Way and its Power, "that the 'holy mountain-men' (sheng-hsien) described by Lieh Tzu are Indian rishi; and when we read in Chuang Tzu of certain Taoists who practiced movements very similar to the asanas of Hindu yoga, it is at least a possibility that some knowledge of the yoga technique which these rishi used had also drifted into China."

5) http://www.hinduwisdom.info/European_Imperialism2.htm  .The European Attack on India and the dream to convert India to Christianity

 

 

Anne Sebba author of several books including Mother Teresa: Beyond the Image has noted:

"The great expansion of missionary activity came during the nineteenth century, coinciding with the spread of British colonial rule throughout India and with a variety of efforts by the other governments of Europe to turn India Christian. Bu the end of the century there were at least twenty-two different Protestant Missionary Societies with as many printing establishments to disseminate the vernacular Gospel.  

There is no doubt that, in the fight to deliver Christianity to the heathen, both Protestants and Catholics sent their best brains to India , rather than Africa or China . This implied a recognition of the inherent spirituality of Hinduism, which demanded more than average sophistry and persuasion to win converts. There was a belief that India had a high degree of ancient civilization which by the late eighteenth century, as the Moghul Empire was fading, had allowed decadence to seep in, offering Christianity the chance to fill the gap. Annie Besant, proponent of the philosophy of Theosophy, gave many a lecture in which she aired her views that India was a victim of the mischief wrought by Christian missionaries. A friend of Swami Vivekananda, Mrs. Besant was trying to lead Indians back to their own gods and arouse their sense of self-respect and pride in the greatness of their religions."
