Hi Prashanth, nice to see your blog. I agree with your assessment that Devdutt has done much to present ancient knowledge in a way that is relevant to modern times. However, in his enthusiasm to present hindu epics and concepts in a way understandable to modern people he has glossed our some facts and made some mistakes. I have presented a critique of his ideas in my blog here. I invite you to visit it and express your opinions about my critique.http://critique-of-devdutt-pattanaik.blogspot.com/Reply from prasanthmy whole point is even if he gets one of the points right its worth it, in times when people are forgetting all these things.
