"Equitable" between whom? The problem with the Black Legend is that it's based on exaggeration, demonising one side, and resting its arguments on narrators who are hardly likely to be unbiased. When JC gets defensive, he takes to the your-religion-is-worse-off-than-mine approach (or so it seems to me). But this really a my-colonialism-is-better-than-yours issue here. In the scramble to justify colonialism and its effects, the Brits later (and apparently the Dutch too, even earlier) were into building Black Legends long before the Priolkars came along! Of course, as Santosh says, I could be wrong.... FN > --- On Mon, 8/3/09, J. Colaco < jc> <[email protected]> wrote: >> Priolkar IMHO was not an unbiased story teller.
