Reply to Mr Burdak I am glad to see you have at least referenced that quote now it was not at all clear before where it came from As it does not agree with standard translations of that passage one wonders about the unusual wording so reminiscent of the odd quote you made from the Mahabharata the other day But more importantly what about the completely false reference to The History of Civilizations of Central Asia Vol II Why have you again not replied to my pointing out of this apparent dishonesty This is only the most recent in a very long list of false quotes and references you have made and I have exposed on these pages as you well know Now I am willing to accept that maybe one or two false quotes could be the result of honest mistakes or sloppy research but when the process is repeated over and over and over again one begins to suspect that the author is doing it deliberately and intends to deceive readers So quite naturally I and others have come to mistrust any quotes you may give especially to sources that are difficult to check I am sorry but you have brought this situation upon yourself
