http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indophobia  (some might find it useful to brush up facts -even if they seem ancient)


I have joined Yahoogroups called Indo-Eurasian Research  run by  Harvard's Michael Witzel and  Steve Farmer  - if you cannot win  them  (fom outside ) join them and start "informed dialogue" as my Harvard prof Fernando Reimers says and wrote a book by that name.  Indo-Eurasian_research @ yahoogroups.com

More are welcome to see how myths are created in current times. 
Ofcourse these guys would say that US curency is a mythical text -- which has written on it "One nation under God"   - which person can do experiments on something called God - must be a myth -some Westerners would say.

PS: Just 200 yards from my current home at Fairfax Circle, Faifax city, VA is a plaque - down the road which reads " here lies the first casualty of US Civil War from Confederates side " or something like this.   http://www.visitfairfax.org/civil_war_attract
How can some white guys fight each other to give freedom to some non-whites. In India are any large number of upper-caste Hindus ready to shed blood to allow Dalits to become temple priests?
