It is good to see such books being online.It shows the leval of racial ignorance existed in USA and also the attack on india's great saints and institutions.The book writer could not have even concived in his mind that india is free and rising up in the world and half the world accepts buddhism and hindusim.
The writer did make himself look like a fool.
