I have a slightly different suggestion on the matter. I am wondering if the wealthy NRIs/ RIs can indeed fund such programs but ensure with the clout of their money power that only pro-Hindu material and propaganda is churned out. They should make sure that before giving even a paisa the professors appointed to these programs are only going do pro-Hindu work and if they produce any anti-Hindu work their funding will be yanked. This is a model successfully deployed by some other minorities in the US. In general they should encourage those involved in manuscript preservation, critical edition and translation, but really not support "pseudo-research" type Indologists - like Herr Witz. Indologists should be screened for anti-Hinduism and given warnings followed by termination of funding if seen erring.
