[edit] missing important information
- He graduated from Columbia University in 1997.
Uh, with a BA in astronomy? This information is useless unless it specifies the degree, and in what department he trained. If he received a PhD it would be good to know whether he received distinction or not, and what his dissertation title was.
- He lectured on Indology at Harvard University and at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
I am tempted to delete this. Harvard has no department of "indology." What department or institute was he in? What was his rank and title? How long was he there and why did he leave? Where is he now? Same for his Rutgers position. This information is important.
Look, none of this is to disparage the guy. If he got a PhD. from Columbia in Religion (or History or Anthropology) with distinction, we should know; if he was a full professor at Harvard in the Anthropology department, we should know. But these sentences are just dropping prestigious-sounding names with no real meaning. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
