Lars Martin Fosse is a Finnish Indologist based in Norway.
Although he is a strong opponent of Hindu nationalism, including the alleged Islamophobia in Hindu nationalism, he himself is spreading what could equally well be described as Islamophobia, and what he would surely criticize if it was a Hindu saying the same thing.[1]
- The sociolinguistic register of the book's introduction, and of the translation as well, is, in my opinion, too colloquial. Although Fosse is a "most experienced" translator, as the book tells us, his English is clearly not that of a native speaker, but rather a kind of internationalese English that often sounds awkward and unidiomatic to the native speaker of English.[2]
