		The problem, if it is a problem, has been further compounded by the vehement denunciation of polytheistic belief and practice by the large monotheistic religions, notably by adherents of Judaism (and from them, Christianity) in the West, and by followers of Islam in the Middle East after Muhammad's attack on the idolaters in the Ka'aba.

		The reader should note that the early history of India is a subject surrounded by bitter controversy, and that it would not be hard to find Hindu scholars who would denounce the previous paragraph not only as being wrong by several thousand years, but also as being racist into the bargain.
