It’s an interesting read but I could tell right after the second paragraph that it was not written by a Hindu or an Indian. It is the most shallow understanding of ‘Ancient Indian Texts’.

Sadly, like other wide eyed white wanderers from the west, I’d wager that this author too would turn ‘Ancient Indian Texts’ into a hate cause with badly and deliberately mistranslated Sanskrit verses. Like Audrey Truschke and Wendy Doniger. Like enthusiastic short term rabid vegans who go back to steak and bubba’s bbq after three months of tofu immersion.

[..] Places like Athens and Alexandria, and the Silk Road cities of India and China, were idea-markets peddling possible ways to transform oneself.[..]

This highlighted quote was particularly cringe.
