I am sorry, but I didn't quite get the message. The cause for making the complaint was the unacademic, disrespectful and casteist behaviour against female participants in the latest WSC.The video shows if anything that Indian women can be trained in memorizing Vedic couplets and in reciting them in a synchronized manner. It resembles a school performance which has nothing to do with serious Sanskrit research and still less with the offensive demeanour of the disputants and the blind eye WSC officials have turned to it as described in previous posts.
In this context I am really wondering what the purpose of sending this puzzling link might be?

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This article, by Professor Vajpeyi, is a must-read. For many on this list, it will not be news that Indology has entrenched problems with sexism and elitism; many in our discipline are also soft on Hindutva. For others, some or all of these things may be surprising.

I encourage everyone to read with an open mind, rather than with a posture of umbrage and denial that has become all-too-common these days. As Professor Vajpeyi describes, the reception of the public forum at the 17th World Sanskrit Conference in Vancouver was an appalling display of unprofessionalism, misogyny, and class privilege, a "regressive face of Indology." My friends - We need to ask ourselves some tough questions about what sorts of prejudices and behaviours we are tolerating and harboring in our corner of the scholarly world. We tend to be quite good at exercising a critical gaze when it comes to mimamsa, kavya, and so forth. I hope we can do the same with ourselves.

All the Best,

Audrey
