This refers to G P Deshpande’s review of The Hindus: An Alternative History by Wendy Doniger (EPW, 4 December 2010).

There are many aspects that the reviewer could have handled but he has con- fi ned himself mainly to the literary issues. Whatever be one’s opinion of Wendy Doniger’s voluminous work, there are a few factual errors, generalisations, and omissions which none may ignore.
