Until Rajiv Malhotra's book, Hindus by and large approached inter-faith dialog with the attitude that "we are one tradition of music, and you are another. Nada Brahma might be approachable by both.".
After Rajiv Malhotra's book, we now understand that the Christian view is that Nada Brahma is a quaint superstition, and Hindu music a variety of noise that they are willing to tolerate; interfaith dialog is simply another means ( since conquest is no longer acceptable) to propagate the one true Jesus music.
The apparent commonality of musical tones, scales, beats and rhythm, melody, harmony, etc., leads the Hindu into the false belief that the purpose of dialog is to expand the repertoire of music; while for the Christian it is a way of finding weaknesses through which Jesus music can replace all the rest.
Now Hindus realize their error, and Christians are mad at being exposed!
