Apparently, Kasem hasn’t done any scholarly research on his own. Never once in his article has Abul provided correct translation of the Vedic verses he has quoted. Based on his article on women in Hinduism, it is quite evident that he simply copied verses from books and websites that claim to provide translations of the Vedas and Vedanta, but never bothered to investigate the real meaning of the original Sanskrit verses.
It is evident from many of his articles that he is better versed with Arabic language and its religion than in the culture and religion of his Vedic ancestors. The author claims himself to be a Bangladesh-born ex-Muslim who has written few books and articles on issues concerning Islam and terrorism. Introduction: Recently, I came across on Islam-watch website a derogatory article titled “Women in Hinduism” written by Abul Kasem. O Universal God, please lead us from untruth to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality, OM let there be Peace, Peace, and Peace” said my Vedic ancestors 5000 years ago in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28). *** Excerpts “A rebuttal to Abul Kasem – Women in Hinduism” by Raju Maliger *** Without further ado, below are excerpts from Raju Maliger’s essay. The rebuttal is well-referenced and will be invaluable in countering mis-conceptions and distortions that are peddled under the garb of “Hindu” religious practices or vedic references. I would put this essay by Sh Maliger in the category of *Must read*. While I was still trying to compile references and source material to refute the claims made in the article, Parama Karuna-ji introduced me to Raju Maliger who forwarded me his rebuttal to Abul Kasem.
I was first alerted to it a few weeks ago by Jagmohan.
Some of you may have come across an article on Islam-watch recently that contained several derogatory references – supposedly from vedic texts – towards women and their position in ancient Hindu society.
