On February 22 the Oscar awards were announced with the British film - Slumdog Millionaire - bagging a majority of them including two for its Indian music director. On February 24, the 'Deccan Chronicle' of Hyderabad had two prominent features: its first lead in large type described the Indian music director as ‘top dog’. The paper must have realized the faux pas of attaching the phrase to the name of a member of a particular community and promptly apologised to the community. The paper did the right thing for however inadvertently hurting the feelings of the community. The second was by M. F. Hussain who has not so far done the decent thing the paper did - apologizing for his sacrilegious paintings of Hindu gods and goddesses.

Academic discussion in the article, ?Elevating the Sacred,? by Paul Courtright in the recent issue of www.littleindia.com is a cover-up for the truly distorted depiction of Ganesha by him in his 1985 book and its revised editions. There may be many authentic myths and academic treatments of such myths in his book on issues directly derived from the Puranas which he uses to distract his readers in this cover-up. However, Courtright cannot demonstrate a single reference to a "limp phallus," "oral sex performed by Ganesha," or a reference anywhere in the Puranic texts describing "Ganesha as a eunuch or a Hijra." These are Paul Courtright's own original mischievous creations from his own Unconscious or from the internalized crass culture in which he grew up. These and other pornographic demeaning characterizations of Ganesha are non-existent in the Indian Unconscious, Puranas, or any authentic Indian literature. His relying on ?peer review? and ?awards? only indicates that he is a fair-haired child of the proselytizing empire-building group of Western ?Indologists? who cannot see through his ?phallic? ?fraud? just like the dean of Emory University who helps him hide behind his academic freedom to dole out pornographic junk.
