Contribution of Madhvacharya (13-14th Century Vedantic Philosopher) for the interpretation of Vedas is completely ignored. Before Dayananda Saraswati and Sri Aurobindo, Sri Madhvacharya has declared that each mantra in the Vedas speak of one and only God Almighty. It is Sri Madhvacharya who IN RECENT TIMES first interpreted Vedas in a symbolic and mystic ways, later followed by Dayananda Saraswati and Aurobindo.

Commentary of Sri Madhvacharya on the first 40 suktas of Rigveda are available.

Dayananda Saraswati's interpretation of Vedas is presented in a bad light contradictory to how the people of the very religion of Vedas perceive it.

This article doesn't relate to the vedic PRACTICE prevalent in today's Hindu society.

This article completely ignores core Hindu beliefs about the Vedas. For example, the mantra drashtara rishis have been touted as AUTHORS of the hymns. This is not how a Hindu believes it. The hymns were HEARD by (shruti) the rishis.

Vedas are perceived to be eternal by Hindus. There is no 'date' tag attached to the Vedas. At the least, there is should be mention of the Hindu perception of Vedas here.

In total, this is western propoganda of completely ignoring the views of Vedic/Hindu Religion while writing about the Vedas.

Not good article for a beginner to read, with the skewed western views lacking even the mention of the core Hindu beliefs about the Vedas.
