Daily quote by Christianization

• Rajiv Malhotra, more picturesquely, uses the metaphor of a tiger (Western Christianity) digesting a deer (Hinduism): Just as the tiger, a predator, would, the West, a dominant and aggressive culture dismembers the weaker one—the deer—into parts from which it picks and chooses pieces that it wants to appropriate; the appropriated elements get mapped onto the language and social structures of the dominant civilization’s own history and paradigms, leaving little if any trace of the links to the source tradition.
