Namaskars,
About six years ago I was invited by the Sanskrit department of this
University to give a talk on Shankaracharya and I went armed with my
knowledge of vedanta and my new-found knowledge of Indological studies
etc., but when I entered the hall I found the hall full of burkha clad
women and boys (who could not be distinguished). I had to completely
reframe my talk and say some innocuous things instead of going into any
further details because it was not the proper time for an argument.
I was shocked to see that the University has Shankaracharya's name for
name's sake. Such is the power of demography.
