There are many persons suffering from such agonies. But how could they get together? Both authors are also distressed becoming more and more sensitive on the continuous worsening of the Era of Vasco da Gama, which began by the declaration of a War by the European Christians on the rest of the world in the 15th century. The Vatican sanctioned the Kings of Portugal and Spain to occupy foreign lands and to annex these lands to their kingdoms. This book does not pretend to deal with history. This book deals with our past and with our present by connecting facts that have been disconnected by so-called philosophers, historians, and social scientists in general and by scholars extraordinary in particular. It looks back to ancient heritage based on primary documents and evidences. This book does not intend to describe our past, does not intend to add just another story to the lot, as modern historians do. It simply puts facts coherently together that are based on primary documentary sources. It is a report of a rigorous scrutiny of secondary sources. It puts scholars and their scholarly deliberations to the test of validity collating with the primary documents.

Pankaj Saxena

Too wide in scope, loosely connected and unedited. But manages to bring up many important issues

Reviewed in India on 21 July 2016

This is one of those books which will elicit mixed reactions from almost every serious reader. In parts it is both great and trivial at the same time. Some paragraphs and sections, recording and analyzing the crimes of Europeans in the colonial era, read like perfection but then the reader stumbles upon an aside which outrageously digresses from the topic and gives an amateurish flavour to the book. The approach is casual, though the pursuit of the subject is passionate.

But this is not an unusual flaw. A majority of authors suffer from these and other similar faults. It is the editor who gives the final, readable shape to the book. He cuts off the rough edges, removes the unnecessary passages, digressing asides, idiosyncratic comments, sweeping analyses and other amateurish give-aways. It is only after this brutal editing that a readable book is produced.

In this modern age of self-publishing and cheap publishing, where publishing often comes down to just printing, the editing part has been sidelined. RARE Books is a courageous publication which publishes works which are not politically correct and which go against the common intellectual grain of India. They dare defy the secular mafia of India. They have to be lauded for that. But they also sometimes accept the manuscripts of some authors uncritically and that results in amateurish publication. Truths is such an example.

The book wonderfully records and analyzes the crimes of European Christians. It records how India (the authors are wary of the word, because of its foreign origins and prefer Bharatvarsha instead) and its culture has been distorted, misrepresented and appropriated by the West, characterized by the authors as European Christians. It talks about how Indian institutions have been subverted to suit the needs of the Christian West driven by Prophetic Monotheistic goals.

The authors also show how the Vatican collaborated with the Christian conquistadors all over the globe in their bloody and racist conquest and destruction of other cultures. It also shows how a nexus of modern academicians still justifies and ignores this genocide of non-European cultures by Europeans, perpetrating a Eurocentric worldview.

The authors correctly blame the British on their anti-Hindu education policies in India, exposing the wrongdoings of Max Mueller, Macaulay and many others in the line. The authors also correctly state that the Aryan Invasion Theory is a racist figment of imagination of the British colonizers and has nothing to do with reality.

The book also claims to debunk the myth of Max Mueller and succeeds in presenting him as nothing more than a racist colonialist. However, their zeal for debunking Max Mueller seems unnecessary as many before them have also criticized him. Nevertheless, there are some good sections discussing the life and works of Max Mueller.

The authors have a different worldview than most others have. And there is no problem with that. They are trying to make their readers understand this worldview. There is no problem with that either.

But the problem comes when the authors assume that the reader is also at the same wavelength. They have come up with a new terminology to describe their paradigm of the world, and have coined many new phrases. For example, they use the phrase the era of Vasco de Gama, by which they refer the era after Vasco de Gama discovered the route to India and the subjugation and destruction of many non-European cultures began.

The problem arises when they start using these phrases without actually explaining their meaning. More often than not, in such cases, the meaning of the author is lost in the new terminology and he fails to get his worldview across, to the reader. Another convention dictates that an author introduces only a minimum number of such phrases to his readers. Introducing a vast number of such phrases will result in a paradigm lost upon the readers. This book suffers from this flaw.

The book also lacks on the language part. The English is stilted, circumlocutory and simply wrong in many places. Again this fault lies more with the editor than with the authors.

The scope of the work is also too wide and quite unclear. First it purports to talk about the atrocities and genocides of ‘European Christians’ and that it does. But then, the entire focus of the book shifts on Max Mueller and his ‘charlatanry’. The authors then also take time to debunk George Orwell and his neglect of the crimes of ‘European Christians’. Then the book degenerates into rabid anti-Americanism. Though there are many red flags about American policies vis-a-vis other cultures that the authors manage to raise, but the tone is too opinionated and judgmental, betraying a puerile hatred of the regime.

When a PhD scholar chooses his topic of research, he is instructed to choose a subject which is narrow in scope, making it possible to accomplish research and writing within time. Too wide a canvas results in ever expanding research and sloppy, first-draft publishing. It seems that the authors have neglected this basic instruction and have gone ahead with a topic too wide. In fact the book has many different topics, loosely connected by a weak common theme of the ‘crimes of European Christians’.

The book also suffers from a flaw that is characteristic of amateur thinking and writing. It tries to talk about everything; to be universal in nature. Such books, though hold a kernel of truth, become so absorbed in trying to give universal and sweeping statements that the truth is lost in between somewhere.

The tone of the book is also too personal, as is evident from the title of the book. The subject matter of the book is not what the long and tedious subtitle states on the cover page, but instead the journey of the authors in finding about these ‘truths’. It does discuss the crimes of Christians, Churches and modern universities and their role in subverting Indian education and culture, but there is too of the personal journey of the authors to call it a professional work. Unless a book is particularly about a subjective experience, it is always thought best to keep the author and his journey out of the book.

The authors are careful in using the phrase ‘European Christians’, thus excluding other Christians and followers of similar Monotheistic ideologies like Islam from the blame. Consciously or inadvertently, in doing this they have shifted the blame of colonialism from Christianity to Europe; from ideology to geography.

This is a trap that authors often fall in. While researching the history of the colonial era, they start blaming every crime on Europe and Europeans, believing that every evil in the world came from Europe. They often forget that while opposing Eurocentrism, they go to other extreme and fall in another trap, of Europhobia. They forget that the fault does not lie with the individuals, but with the ideologies and thus no particular country or continent, no particular geography can be inherently evil or good. It is the ideology that makes them what they are. One of the primary focus of great Indian historian Sita Ram Goel was to assert this truth. The authors seem to have forgotten that.

The book manages to bring forth many important issues regarding Hindus, Hinduism, colonialism and academics. But it needs editing, massive editing, both language-wise and content-wise.

TRUTHS- A VERY HARD HITTING BOOK

Reviewed in India on 20 May 2016

It is a hard hitting book written in a very unusual style. There are many bold letters in the text which come regularly and repeatedly. The important passages are repeated in a very emphatic manner to drive the point home. It explains how the European kingdoms, Christian churches especially the Vatican, and the Universities came together in an unholy nexus to create a hegemony of their Christian culture and their ideologies. The wars, genocide, looting of foreign lands have been very brutal. Vasco Da Gama and Christopher Columbus have been termed as explorers but they were rather plunderers of a great sort. The story of exploitation and systematic looting of foreign lands was initiated by these so called explorers. It is a myth that they came to trade with India. They never had anything with them to trade. The Portugese started with the conquests of coastal western India. It was a brutal conquest. The Goa Inquisition was set up in Goa which brutally killed and exploited a good number of Hindus and Muslims. Anyway, conquering foreign lands with deceit has been the culture of the Europeans. The Church whole heartedly supported them and the Vatican many times gave a sanction to conquer foreign land with divine order. So, many times, the looters and plunderers justified their cruel acts as the will of God against primitive people. The universities and colleges formed the third angle of the unholy trinity which gave an ideological twist to all the horrors which were perpetrated by the European kings. The world wars were initiated in the European countries, and their fights became the fights for the whole world. India had nothing to do with the European power politics, but it still lost thousands of soldiers in the name of an ideological war. Max Mueller and the other celebrated Indologists like William Jones, Franz Bopp, Roberto Nobili, Charles Wilkins were all cheats and swindlers and the extreme word ‘intellectual prostitutes’ is frequently applied to them. Max Mueller was the biggest swindler of all times. Using the letters written to his mother, his autobiography and the biography written by his English wife, his life has been systematically constructed in greatest detail. The details are hardly flattering. His life was a total academic failure. He did not have the degrees with him from any university though he claimed to be an MA and a PhD. He was on the payroll of the East India Company, especially chosen by Macaulay to undermine Hindu scriptures and give them a Christian angle. He had a missionary agenda clearly revealed in the letters he wrote. The Aryan invasion theory is a fantasy created by his sick mind, which has played a havoc with Indian people even to this date. Our historians have taken up the theory to give an extreme ideological twist. Places like Oxford were responsible for giving extraordinary twists and justification to the foreign exploits. It is a matter of great shame to the European cultures which also conquered places like USA, Australia, and New Zealand by sheer exploitation and cunning. They were supposed to do trade with foreign cultures, but they never did that. They were never traders trying to improve their lot and people, but they were brutal exploiters who simply looted and are presently responsible for the mess the world is in. All this of course with a sanction of the Church and the academics at the European universities. It was a book which is guaranteed to shake and stir. Sometimes, it is a difficult reading with the frequent bold letters and the repetitious statements. But, if one understands the anger of the authors on the terrible distortion of the world by the European culture, it can be ignored. The book may have a rather unusual style of narration, but I guess that is the technique employed by the authors to give a heavy sledge-hammer impact. The book is as brutal in the expose as the Europeans who ripped the world with their Churches, explorers, academics, and later on, their scientists.
