Anybody recall Gill Harley? She came on this forum and participated in something like exactly ONE thread, albeit doing much of the posting in it, taking a rather fanatic HIndutva line...... she turned out to be a British woman who'd spent the last 3-4 decades DEEPLY immersed in a series of Hindu cults over in Britain. I thought it very revealing that we got people like HER protesting Ma'at's take on the California action & on India's history..... rather than actual East Indians.
