	Multimedia: a learning experience with special reference to Indology
		A responsible indologist is concerned by research and by presentation of the knowledge he acquires.
		Indologists have not been the first researchers to become aware of this dawn of a new civilisation that is going ahead so fast before our eyes.
		In the field with which the indologist is concerned, before computer age, the main tools have been writing for the sake of language data, reproduction through magnetic tapes, etc. for sound data, reproduction through design, photography, etc. for image data.

		However, we must realize that most of the Indologist in particular and archaeologists in general, of the 18th and 19th Centuries and even the 20th Century were not only the product of the Newtonian model of science but also belonged to a very different culture and religion.
		Many of these Indologist of the earlier period were avowed missionaries.
		And one must remember that these stories are told again and again by Indologist and Sanskritists having a missionary background.

	The making of an Indologist
		A.L. Basham's The Wonder That Was India (1954) and D.D. Kosambi's An Introduction to the Study of Indian History (1956) epitomised this shift.
		The first one is the work of a professional historian and the second is from an "amateur Indologist".
		A doyen among Indologists, Basham romanticised the vast sweep of India's history.

		For an indologist of the nineteenth-century, matters were relatively simple: before the period of what is generally called "classical Hinduism" or the like, Indian culture was Indo-Aryan and at the same time Vedic.
		On the other hand, to the Western classical indologist, "Vedic" in the sphere of linguistics and literature still has a fixed connotation-namely as referring to the corpus of texts already mentioned and to the language found in this.
		But throughout history there have been other definitions, to the Western classical indologist redefinitions of the term, allowing individual texts which are not Vedic by the definition mentioned above to be subsumed by, or appended to, the traditions of hallowed ancient texts, thus letting them partake of the sacrality and authoritativeness attributed to the Vedas.

	Organiser
		Some Western Indologists and Indian ‘secularists’ are resorting to desperate tactics to save their discipline from collapsing.
		It was Indologist W.W. Hunter who said : “Scholarship is warmed with the holy flame of Christian zeal.” And Bishop Caldwell, who created the Aryan-Dravidian theory, admitted that his linguistic theories were of “vast political and moral importance”— meaning they served British colonial and Christian missionary interests.
		That Harvard Indologist Michael Witzel and an independent writer Steve Farmer have to save India and Indians from being corrupted by devilish ‘natives’ and ‘heathens’ like N.S. Rajaram, N. Jha and Shrikant Talageri is pure colonial-missionary conceit that revives the White Man's Burden.

	INDIA'S CONTRIBUTION TO PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Indian theories about the atom are greatly abstract and enmeshed in philosophy as they were based on logic and not on personal experience or experimentation.
		Thus the Indian theories lacked an empirical base, but in the words of A.L. Basham, the veteran Australian Indologist "they were brilliant imaginative explanations of the physical structure of the world, and in a large measure, agreed with the discoveries of modern physics."
		The school of philosophy which contributed to the development of ideas about the atom was the Vaisheshika school.

		The importance of recognizing Eliade as indologist is emphasized.
		We should consider that he was an indologist early in his career, and it is wrong to ignore this aspect when discussing his teachings, his philosophy, or even his understanding of religion.
		One can easily see throughout all Eliade's work, not only in his books on Yoga, which made him famous in the theory of Yoga and an authority in the field, that his living experience in India (1928-1931) played a very important role.

	Aryan Invasion Theory - A Christian Myth? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The claim was hardly trivial, since this was over 2,000 year s before Indologists date the Rigveda - and more than 1,000 years before Harappan culture itself reached maturity.
		In Indology, the imperialistic enemy is the "colonial-missionary creation known as the Aryan invasion model," which Rajaram ascribes to Indologists long after crude invasion theories have been replaced by more sophisticated acculturation models by serious researchers.
		It was quickly shown that the methods of Jha and Rajaram were so flexible that virtually any desired message could be read into the texts.

	Why Pushyamitra was more 'Secular' than Ashoka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Let us elaborate one example of pro-Buddhist bias in modern indologist scholarship.
		It has to do with a story of alleged Hindu persecution of Buddhism by Pushyamitra, a general in the service of the declining Maurya dynasty, who founded the Shunga dynasty after a coup d'état.
		Such is the quality of the "scholarship" deployed to undermine the solid consensus that among the world religions, Hinduism has always been the most tolerant by far.
