Indian readers sue Penguin for copyright to book that is to be pulped due to religious fundamentalists' campaign

Ha! Try Orthodox Jew and Pentacostals turning cartwheels in the aisles!

Complicate it with the fact that different groups may worship different gods, with a whole lot of internal “my god can beat up your god” one-upmanship! And a native-born atheist/agnostic/materialist tradition that’s still considered part of Hinduism.

Really, the name Hindu is so loose as to be a historical accident more than a religion!

The problem is that the Hindutvas (that’s Hindu fundamentalists) want to make us into a single belief system, in the model of Catholicism or Islam…
