While Theo is very intelligent and opinionated it is important to mote he is not a lawyer. His understanding of law should be taken with a grain of salt.
Your statement could be true and would suggest that a scholar of the related tradition of the Rig Veda should be qualified to speak as to matters of modern law.
In case you are wondering, most European legal systems are in part derived from the Roman legal system. The Roman legal system and its legalese is actually structurally based on older liturgical structures which had died out in Rome (but were otherwise known throughout the Indo-European and even the Italic world). This tradition also gave rise to proto-Hinduism, the Rig Vedas, the Druids, the Eddas, and the like. Hence if we are going by origins, Hindu scholars ought to be qualified as lawyers, the whole lot of them.
