Hi,darling (faked message)

[Guest guest]

List Members:

 

Please note that the recent message "Hi, darling" (I take it originally

including a virus,

which stripped from the message) was not from me. I have, in fact,

never posted to the Indology List, but was just alerted to the message's

existence via email by another List member.

 

Hindutva forces regularly send me viruses (often several a day) and periodically

post

false messages in my name on both public and private scholarly Lists. When they

do

this in , the message is typically posted by someone who is

technically a List Member who temporarily inserts my return address into their

 

preference file for that one message. The List Owner can often determine the

real

source of the message, although it is possible to obscure the trail, by looking

at the

originating IP address in the full message header. I unfortunately can't see

that full

message header in this case since I don't receive emails from Indology,

but

only have access to List messages via the Web. (I would appreciate it if someone

on

the List could send me the full header, however.)

 

For anyone curious as to why right-wing Indian forces like to waste my time

writing

notes like this, go to http://www.safarmer.com/downloads and go through slide

show #1 or my notes from my last Harvard Indology Roundtable lecture. You can

write me directly on these matters, but please note that at present I don't post

to this

particular List.

 

Best wishes,

Many racist, imperial-minded Westerners in bed in

Marxist Indians (see Farmer, I can play the name-calling

game too) like to label those who do not agree with

their muddle-headed fantasies as "right-wing Hindutva

forces."

 

If Farmer is being hounded electronically and otherwise

he ought to stop whining and report the incidences to

the appropriate law-enforcement agencies. We have been

hearing a lot these days about Western scholars receiving

threats from the aforementioned "right-wing Hindutva

forces." My recommendation to these men and women is,

pick up the phone and call the FBI, your district

attorney, your local police station etc.

 

Warm regards,
