Instead, I stand by another Sanskrit maxim. It is one that can’t be shaken by any possible context, because it is always a reliable guiding principle… - Koenraad Elst

It is only in the mid-1990s that I took an interest in European neo-Paganism, partly on Ram Swarup's advice.....I have also never participated in any of the meetings of the various embryonic attempts at creating a "Pagan international", whether the Pagan Federation, the World Council of Ethnic Religions or the World Council of the Elders of the Ancient Traditions and Cultures. But I wish them all the best, for they consist mostly of nice people and I can easily see through the attempts by so-called secularists to blacken them and to deny to them the right of international networking which is deemed only natural in the case of Christians or Muslims.

This point has been developed in the VHP’s official rebuttal to the BMAC’s evidence bundle: History vs. Casuistry. Of course, that document is absent from the bibliographies of practically all secularist publications on Ayodhya in India and abroad even though it represents the official position of the secularists’ own chosen enemy, the position which their publications purport to be rebutting.

The rest of his final allegation is an exercise in guilt by association. This is beneath the standards of an intellectual but proper for a political polemicist.
