But yes, I'm ready to strike, and I expect a lot of colleagues with me. #DoeHetNiet #WOinActie

I've had some run-ins with Lavanya Vemsani on private listservs. She gets super mad if you call her Hindutva while doubling down on Hindutva ideas. Also, this book waves away Indo-European connections and was funded by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research of the Government of India.
