 Politics of vandalism
ON January 5, the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI) in Pune became the target of a horrific act of vandalism.
A 150-strong mob protesting against the institute's alleged involvement in maligning the name of the Maratha king Shivaji barged into its premises, ransacked the library, destroyed thousands of rare books, ancient manuscripts, old photographs and priceless artefacts, and took away some invaluable historical texts.
The institute, one of the country's premier research centres for Orientology, has become a victim of what is now known as cultural terrorism and also the politics of a caste feud in Maharashtra.

 The politics behind the vandalism of Bhandarkar Institute
The recent attack on Bhandarkar Institute in Pune by the Sambhaji Brigade is highly condemnable.
It is quite significant to note that the alleged remarks against Shivaji and his mother were made by James Laine, not by anyone associated with the Bhandarkar Oriental Institute and yet this Institute was ransacked.
Thus the purpose was not so much as to protest against Bhandarkar Institute but to attack the institute considered to be the storehouse of Brahminical knowledge and controlled by the Brahmins.

On 5 January 2004 a leading research institute in India, the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), was attacked (see here for details).
In researching his book, Laine had worked at BORI years earlier, and he thanked the institute and a number of scholars associated with it in his acknowledgements -- reason enough for the Sambhaji brigadeers to physically threaten and attack these men, and to destroy important bits of Indian history.

 The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute has been an important part of Pune’s urban culture for almost a century, and certainly a hub of national and international scholarly activity throughout the postcolonial history of India.
To see, today, its ravaged book-stacks and decimated card-catalogues, its walls bare of portraits and the glass on its cupboards shattered, its ancient manuscripts in tatters and its elderly denizens in shock, is first and foremost to stare intolerance in its ugly face.
The public in Pune, in Mumbai and in the rest of the country, knows it is witnessing a sign of some sort — an event that points to not one but several realities — but is utterly confused about which way to look, and what to look at.

While Shiv Sena, the well-known Hindu right organization, led the attack on the Sanskrit scholar, the assault on the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute was the handiwork of an erstwhile obscure group called the Sambhaji Brigade.
Thorough in research and crisp in writing, Laine's history is above all smart - and it thus beautifully transcends the typical academic history book as well as biography.
If that does not offend you enough, then you just might have appreciated the amount of research and intellectual investment that has gone into discovering just that and declaring it - and you may well continue to enjoy the fireworks even as Laine's legal troubles unfold in India.

 'Maratha' activists vandalise Bhandarkar Institute-Pune-Cities-The Times of India
PUNE: In a dastardly attack, over 150 activists of the little-known 'Sambhaji Brigade', affiliated to the Maratha Seva Sangh, on Monday ransacked the renowned Bhandarkar oriental research institute (Bori) for helping American author James Laine, who made some highly objectionable remarks about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his book Shivaji: A Hindu king in Islamic India.
The activists — armed with batons, bamboo sticks and nanchakus — first hit peon Prasad Konde on his head and forced their way into the research and study halls which house ancient and valuable books, manuscripts, pictures, copper and clay tablets.
A translation of the Rigved by Sanacharya was later found on the ILS Law College road, outside the institute.
