Our e-mails would be interpreted as response from reactionary Hindu bigots while NYT or Huffington post would sing a brotherly song for children of Ishmael. That is what entrenched band of western Indologist do every time their trashy theories are contested with new evidence. The problem as I see, is that mutual respect, by it's very nature, are shared among the equals. We are not equals or even if we are, west see no obligation to consider so. We must be capable enough to make them consider so and only then this would stop. I really do not believe email would help when there is no change in basic attitude.
