Jonathan Edelmann wrote a very thoughtful critique of Malhotra's book Being Different for the Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies. It can be found here:

I believe some of the other essays from the panel to which Jonathan contributed this piece can be found in the same issue.
Anantanand Rambachan has also written a response to Malhotra's work, as well as to the personal attacks launched against him by Malhotra and his followers.

I would be surprised if any of us want to enage him as a fellow scholar. He is simply a piece of contemporary Hindu history, however bizarre and disreputable one may find him. Scholars not inclined to contemporary Hindu affairs may well find little in Malhotra to interest them.

Subject: [INDOLOGY] reviews of Malhotra's books
Is someone collecting a bibliography of serious reviews of Rajiv Malhotra's books? Are there considered writings that could be relayed to someone interested in reasoned, academic responses to Malhotra's views?Best,Dominik
