Dear Brian,

    If Arnaud has no knowledge of Sanskrit and Vedic Sanskrit how can Dr B's grandstanding statement that it is "dishonest to claim here that Arnaud's review does not entirely demolish Talageri's main linguistic "result"" be correct? Since Talageri wrote about Vedas: a person critiquing his work atleast needs to know the language Vedas are written in? No?


Can you please point out something where Arnaud's lack of Sanskrit knowledge does not hinder "his linguistic" critique of Talageri?

Regards,
Shivraj

Of course not; Arnaud was quite straightforward about that
in his review.

No, we’ll address it now, because it’s the real issue (from
which I’m sure that you would like to divert attention).
