Where have they used civilizational units? India prior to British rule was never a political unit in the sense of modern nation sate, also there has been no Indian civilization but civilizations. Both the books, I have suggested, if you have read deal with the development of Aryan tribes from the Sapt aindhav region - present staes of Sindh (Pakistan) and Punjab and Haryana, before they moved beyonbd that. Also their influence was limited to north of Vindhya region till about Budha's time, If you already know, then I dont engage into debate for debatte sake, agreeing with Chekhov that 'art for art sake ' is crime. Also, as a lifelong learner, I dont want top engage into debale with all-kanowlegeables, whose Pravachans are futilr for me. Take Care.
The debate was on a wriers's or ordinary citizens right to freedom to expression in a democracy. Some people have suggested, she shouild be killed by terrorists like Sadhvi Ritambhara; some others have suggested to publically stone her to death. This is a fascist idea, unable to fight the intellectuals on the level of ideas on the basis of facts and logical arguemeents, try the eliminate the person embodying thoise ideas. That is what happened with Scratese. Galleleo, Antoniuo Gramsci, Bhagat Singh, Che, Shankar Guha Niyogi; Chandra Shekhar... and lately Cherikuri Rajkumar (Azad). You kill the Arundhati, the spectre of her ideas woul haunt you forv generations. Anyway Police has already registerd case against her, but who stand with the people arew not afraid of Police and death.
