When you see a whole host of so-called "left, liberal" academics bashing Hinduism, and hyperventilating about "Islamophobia", know that they are simply signaling to their donors they deserve the bakshish. Same with that Aurangzeb-fan junior academic.
It’s not the only reason, and power structures have changed over time.
Currently Islamic funding is a significant factor, especially for low-paid sepoy academics of “South Asian studies.” Hindu-bashing is the norm, you’d be ostracized without that.
