Peter Heehs noted one of his another works:- "Sri Aurobindo and Indian Civilization", to lack in linguistic knowledge which was made up by attacks on colonial orientalists and half-informed invocations of nationalist orientalists. Heehs also criticized Danino's other works for appropriating Sri Aurobindo in his campaign against the Indo-Aryan migrations and for distorting Aurobindo's speculative views as assertions. Danino selectively cherry-picked quotes from his draft-manuscripts and ignored his published works, which were far nuanced. Others have accused Danino of pursuing a sectarian Hindutva oriented scholarship based on historical negationism.
