Petr,
Not only are they duty bound to be embarrassed by her support, since she is - possibly - the most ardent Nazi who ever lived, der Fuhrer included, I think we're duty bound to tut-tut her contributions in public, in order to aid resistance to Islam in India.
Privately, that woman did almost as much as the British Empire to assist India, possibly more. The Hindu Nationalists are rightly embarrassed, because their movement is so dependant on her and her husband's work.
I'm split on the 'Aryan Invasion' thing. I don't doubt that it happened, but multiculturalists are trying to use it to push an "India has always been a land of immigrants" message, in order to destroy yet another country.
I think, like the utter and complete dependance of both the Soviet and American space programs on Operation Paperclip, it can be kept quiet until such time as it's not likely to harm anyone. Hitler was certainly well thought of in India during the war years. Indians were very proud to see the swastika everywhere.
I hope they don't have to wait too long to see it in public again.

| If she opposed the Christian destruction of Pagan temples, why did she venerate Akhenaton, the first known temple-destroyer, the first known believer in a single god intolerant of others? |
This is still an open question for me. I have never understood her take on Akhenaton, either. It's pretty plain now that Set-worshipping Hyksos and exiled priests from the Amarna period met up somewhere in Canaan to hatch history's greatest evil. The Set worshippers provided the theme of contesting brothers, which runs throughout the Old Testament, and also the Exodus story, a prototypical Jewish rewrite of a successful explusion under Thutmose III, where they were the good guys and the Egyptians the first gentiles, who hated the innocent Hyksos for their goodness. Or something. But the savage, intolerant strain of Judaism that has now lain waste to the entire world, the spiritual impulse to destroy all other forms of worship, is plainly borne from Akhenaten's diseased imagination.
In many ways, the history of our world is a nightmare the Ancient Egyptians are having.

In the same year, Dalit leader Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar recapitulated the findings of physical anthropology to conclude that "the Brahmins and the Untouchables belong to the same race". |
Just so everyone's clear on this, both of these statements are crazy.
