Personally -- I can't answer your question exactly. Here is the doubtful part. At this stage in the controversy -- key chapters in Bachitar Natak Have been translated into English by Professor Jodhi Singh, according to "panthic" news reports. However one cannot seem to locate them. I have tried to do that.
Supposedly these translations will show that Professor Darshan is a heretic, among other things.
It is said that Professor Darshan has misquoted Professor Jodhi Singh who is said to have translated the lines/chapters under dispute into English. Where are these translations so that others can evaluate the arguments on each side?
Things become peculiar when Professor Darshan says that he has quoted Professor Jodhi and Professor Jodhi now says that he has been misquoted. Then news story after news story is published and no one in the reading audience -- and I doubt most if not all of the individuals writing these stories -- have read any of the translations in question.
By the time December rolls around how will we know which draft of the "translation" will be used in testimony.
On top of all of this - the parts translated (so to speak) are from Bachitar Natak. But the allegations against Professor Darshan have for some time now extended well beyond disputed passages in Bachitar Natak. And as I have noted, at the risk of repeating myself, extend to claims that he is an atheist and a communist and more. Which has nothing to do with Bachitar Natak.
I too am just a plain person looking at this unwinding dispute and asking myself why it has the look and sound of the debates of early Christianity? And why actors in this story are behaving like the Vatican? Final question not yet addressed: What are the specific heresies? These can only be judged by showing heresies committed against Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
