来自全球顶尖印度教研究学者之一，对印度教历史的生动重新诠释。作为一部引人入胜且权威的历史与神话叙述，The Hindus提供了一种理解这一世界上最古老的主要宗教之一的全新途径，阐明了有记载的历史与想象世界之间的关系。印度教很难严格按年代顺序进行记述：其许多核心典籍甚至无法精确断代在某一个世纪之内；其核心信条（仅举karma与dharma两例）出现于印度历史的特定时期，并在各个时代、不同……

你问的是个事实问题。关于这事的事实引用，可以去梵文学者温迪·多尼格（Wendy Doniger）所著《印度教徒：另一种历史》（The Hindus: An Alternative History）[1]的大量脚注里找找看。书中指出，哈拉帕印章上刻画的好几种动物在《吠陀》中完全没有提及，而反过来《吠陀》……
You are asking a factual question. One place to look for citations of facts on the issue is in the extensive footnotes of the book The Hindus: An Alternative History[1] by Sanskrit scholar Wendy Doniger. The book points out that the Harappan inscriptions depict several animals that are mentioned nowhere in the Vedas, while the Vedas in turn…
……一本出自一位基本被忽视的作者的书，本来自己就会湮没无闻。* 或者更糟——去看看亚马逊上的书评，特别是作者的同行学者写的那些 http://www.amazon.com/The-Hindus-An-Alternative-History/dp/1...
…book from a largely ignored author which would have faded into oblivion on its own. * or worse - Read the Amazon reviews, specifically the ones by the author's fellow academics http://www.amazon.com/The-Hindus-An-Alternative-History/dp/1...
……《吠陀》诗篇（10.119），其中有人因喝了苏摩酒而欣喜若狂（或者嗨了），说这饮料带着他腾空而去，“宛如骏马拽着战车狂奔。”出处：多尼格，温迪（2009-02-24）。《印度教徒：另一种历史》（第122页）。
…Vedic poem (10.119) in which someone exhilarated (or stoned) on soma says that the drinks have carried him up and away, “Like horses bolting with a chariot.” Source: Doniger, Wendy (2009-02-24). The Hindus: An Alternative History (p. 122).
学者研究印度教经典对印度教徒来说并不算冒犯。真正冒犯人的，是多尼格等某些人搞的那种带有种族主义色彩的曲解。多尼格的书并不是被“禁”了。而是被出版社撤回了——因为内容具有冒犯性。详情见同一个维基链接。……
Scholars studying Hindu texts is not offensive to Hindus. What is though, is the racist perversion that some of them like Doniger make. Doniger's book is not "banned". It was withdrawn by the publisher - because it was offensive. Details in same wiki link.…
这里反印度教的是潜台词（也就是说你得读懂弦外之音）。多尼格似乎在宣扬这样一种叙事：印度教徒是被其圣书驱动的暴力“他者”。这就像那种广为流传（？）的叙事：穆斯林是受《古兰经》驱使的恐怖分子，根本不管这到底是不是真的。你可能会说……
It is the subtext that is anti-Hindu here (i.e. you have to read between the lines). Doniger seems to be forwarding the narrative that Hindus are violent Others, driven by their holy text. This is similar to the established(?) narrative that Muslims are terrorists, being motivated by the Quran, never mind that it is not true. You may say that…
很有意思，你提到了多尼格女士的书《印度教徒：另一种历史》，这本书引发的争议可真不少，主要是由一个印度教民族主义团体提起的诉讼引爆的，该诉讼直接导致这本书被下架……
It is interesting that you bring up Ms. Doniger's book, The Hindus: An Alternative History, which has invited more than its fair share of controversy largely ignited by the lawsuit brought about by a Hindu nationalist group, which actually led the book to be yanked from…
