In his recent post to Indology, Prof. Pandurangi refers to three Western Indologists.  One is referred to as 'Prof. Jesse.' Another is referred to as 'Dr Wendy Doniger.'  And a third is referred to as 'Howard Resnick.'  Then in passing he refers to three other Indologists as 'reputed scholars like Cardona, Aklujkar and Deshpande, etc.'  Can you explain to me the complex sociological hierarchy of this system of reference?  Do you think that there is no hierarchy here?  Do you really think that in this context "Prof. Jesse" is respectful?
