Support for "The Hindus: An Alternative History" by Wendy Doniger

"I love Wendy's. And white meat."

"The University of Chicago and Emory University are facing deep budget shortages because of depressed student interest in History and Religious Studies. Sales of pornographic books such as Professor Donigers' are desperately needed to shore up fee revenue."

"I support this Petition. Mr. Raja Bose is the greatest media artist ever born, I hope he gets the OSCAR. His company, C3CUBE is such a pleasure to deal with, and he is such a hero to take up the chivalrous defense of Professor Doniger. The only good Hindo"

"There is no doubt that such derogatory books must be taken out of circulation. If the author wants, she could probably write about problems in Iraq or Syria and suggest remedy, rather than hurting a section just because she hates them."

"This is a huge blow to free speech, and diversity, and rigorous scholarship. Please withdraw your withdrawal of Wendy Doniger's book."

"Absolutely against censorship. 110049 110049"

"I support this petition"

"I enjoy Wendy's books almost as much as my Debbie Does Dallas videos."

"always in support of freedom of speech. prof doniger has proved a distinguished member of the academic community who showed profound knowledge of hindu culture. she has been a teacher to many."

"I agree that the book has a quite a few factual inaccuracies, that the language employed in certain places could have been tempered considering the fact that the a living religion is under study, and that alternative interpretations of passages from texts"

"we live in a free global world, we have the freedom to express and write. because of some narrow-minded and unadaptable people, the independence should not be killed. very shameful incident. some handful people trying to represent and police the whole soc"

"IRRATIONAL CRITICISM BY HANDFUL."

"Common Mistakes like error in dates can never be deemed as insulting. History is history. Any historian can give his own dates, years, etc.. How can that be considered insulting to a particular religion. This happens only in India !!!! Wah India Wah !!!!!"

"I support this petition"

"Doniger proves that Jesus and Saint Thomas actually had a conversation and has even figured out the dates for the arrival of Saint Thomas in India. She also proved that filthy Jews have no evidence for their arrival in India. Only Hindutva (i.e. Hindus) a"

"Shikha Bachao Andolan...really?"

"I read the book four years ago. It is one of the best & erudite exposition of Hinduism which it seem she respects otterly. Filth lies in the mind of the reader who found offensive material in the book."

"Wendy Doniger is a wonderful scholar, full of wit and wisdom; and, yes, irreverence, but that's a good thing in a scholar of religions. To claim (as her critics have) that she somehow "hates Hinduism" is absurd."

"I support this petition"

"This is against freedom of speech and as said, the Talibanization of our religion."

"The whole incident of Penguin's withdrawal of Wendy Doniger's book on Hinduism in India has exposed the anti-Hindu bias in the Western Academia. How many so-called eminent scholars on Hinduism, its history and scripture have taken the time to peer-review "

"She is pervert. She has no right to distort any religion..!!"

"The people signing this pettition are bunch of hypocrites who themselves will not allow free speech in discussion forms that they control and moderate. And I bet, this Raja dude will axe my signature soon too. The people who support this petition have a h"
