Overview

Examining not only the influence exercised by the Colonial West on India, but also the influence of India on Western modern thought, this study aims to decolonize the Indian continent of the clichés and tales imposed on it by the West and by modernity. The result is a fascinating investigation that not only questions traditionally accepted prejudices about India itself, but also criticizes the traditional perspective dictated by the Western social sciences.
 
Examinando no sólo la influencia del occidente colonial, si no también la influencia de la India en el pensamiento moderno occidental, este estudio busca eliminar los estereotipos de la India impuestos por el occidente y por la modernidad. El resultado es una investigación fascinante que desafía prejuicios tradicionalmente aceptados sobre la India, pero que también critica la perspectiva tradicional de las ciencias humanas occidentales.
