    I wouldn't arrive on such a conclusion before reading what he had to say. I am reading this now, have you read it before? What is your opinion?

    MAX MULLAR WAS A GREATSCHOLER ON INDIAN MATTERS. I DO NOT KNOW SUCH A CONCLUSION IS ARRIVED AT AND BY WHOM. TODAY IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TEST THE AUTHENTHICITY OF HIS WRITINGS. MOST OF THE BOOKS REFFERED BY MULLAR ARE NOT AVAILABLE

    I like one fact which Max Muller discusses in this book. That is most of the west first discriminated against Vedas sighting the reason that it was transmitted through one caste, Brahmins. But Max Muller states that not everyone in a community writes/preserves for the future. Even in our modern times, only some small percentage does this and they are called authors. Others might be simply busy in their day-to-day activities. So do not discriminate, and try to learn what the Vedas has to say first.

    The only thing Max Muller continuously repeats is the word Aryan. Is there any non-indians who did not believe in Aryan-theory?
