The author espouses a conspiracy theory in which both Western and Indian scholars collude in the intentional falsification of Indian mathematical history. The paper repeatedly directs accusations of fraudulence and ulterior motives at those with whose conclusions the author disagrees. For example, historians consider Aryabhatta to date from the fifth century C.E. This paper asserts, without presenting any evidence, that the true date lies over three millenia (!) earlier and that the later date was ``arbitrarily fixed by scholars in order to match a ``fabricated chronology. Other work is characterized in this paper as ``cooked up, ``absurd, ``haughty, ``emotional, ``without any scholarly restraint, and so on. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1030.00025].
