[INDOLOGY] Editions of The Roots of Ayurveda

[Dominik Wujastyk]

Dear friends,

In 1998, I published *The Roots of Ayurveda* with Penguin India.  They did
a great job and I was happy to be published by them, at the time.  In 2001
they produced a second updated edition that included some corrections.

In protest at Bertelsmann's and Penguin India's craven submission to a
right-wing challenge to my friend Wendy Doniger's book *The Hindus: An
Alternative History* and their subsequent withdrawal of her book from the
Indian market, I withdrew my book from the Penguin India and the Indian
market.

The 3rd, 2003 edition of *Roots* (Penguin, London & New York,
ISBN 0-140-44824-1) was a major editorial update, completely re-typeset,
and with a new index.  If you use the book, please always read and cite the
3rd edition.  Not just because of the politics, but because it's a
significantly better edition.

Sincerely,
Dominik Wujastyk
