TODAY I saw an attachment in pdf format from Mr.GIREESH.H in iyer123.com

http://How-I-Became-a-Hindu.pdf

The attachment refers to an article(BOOK?) from Mr.DAVID FRAWLEY
( PANDIT VAMADEVA SASTRY):
HOW I BECAME A HINDU MY DISCOVERY OF VEDIC DHARMA.

WE have QUITE LARGE NUMBER OF KNOWLEDGEABLE MEMBERS like
MR.NARA,MR.SANGOM, M/s. HAPPY HINDU in this forum.THERE COULD BE MORE MEMBERS COMING UNDER THIS CATEGORY about whom I may not know.
My apologies to such members for my inability to include their names in the list.
IT will be a good idea if the contents of the book is discussed by knowledgeable members for the benefit of all members.[/QUOTE]Dear Shri krishnamurthy,

The pdf file cannot be downloaded. Will you kindly check and make it downloadable?

DF rose into prominence in India at least, after the Ayodhya incident. BJP was becoming very popular with the masses then. But BJP was also seen as the party of the higher castes esp. Baniyas and BSP was trying to wean away the dalit vote banks by propagating the Aryan vs indigenous ideas. DF and some others like one Mr. Rajaram were probably commissioned to support the BJP. This lobby wrote much about the Aryan invasion being a myth and related topics.

I think DF has been honoured for all such services. It is relevant to note that he studied Chinese indigenous medicine but nothing is stated about when and where he studied ayurveda, jyotisha, etc. Still he has been given titles like Ayurvedacharya,etc.

It is good that DF in his personal level, finds hinduism more attractive. But for discussing the book it is necessary to read it but DF has not even allowed googlebooks to show even a few pages from it.
