"Mishra's polemics regarding Hinduism as a religion and the modern history of nationalist movements among Hindu people in India such as the BJP have generated some disquiet among some Hindu circles within India. His book Temptations of the West: How to be Modern in India, Pakistan, Tibet and Beyond was reviewed by The Economist (1 July – 7 July 2006 issue) and provides an example of the analysis and commentary that have made Mishra controversial in India. His remarks against Hindus have earned him accusations of being an anti-Hindu, and of "pandering to white pro-Muslim audiences in the West".

replies: text: Apologies for the absurdly slomo response, but apparently his was a "dispossessed Hindu Brahmin family", according to the NYT.  Not sure if it's DUE to mention this in the article.  109.255.211.6 (talk) 02:54, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Religious background

message: The entire Pankaj_Mishra#Writing_career section seems to be an almost word for word copy of this biography page. It needs to be heavily rewritten.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thaths (talk • contribs) 17:41, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
