Decolonizing Hindu literature: Rajiv Malhotra
Rajiv Malhotra talks about how Westerners after learning from Vedas and Hindu Philosophy are undermining Hindu literature.
He points to an important bridge between Hinduism and Buddhism, the concept of "Indra Jal" Indra's net a philosophy related to cosmos.
This concept is there in Vedas and the same is discussed in Buddhist Philosophy.
Fact is Vedas are facts about Humans, cosmos, universe and other complex principles that run this universe.
These western copy cats who got hold of Hindu texts during their colonial expansions took these concepts and modernized them, proposed them as their own theories at the same time made Hindus feel inferior and ashamed of their culture.
They have christinized Yoga and also tried to westernize Baratnatyam and other fine arts.
Most of the Literature festivals organized in India are controlled by a British sitting in Britain.
These Bible believers whose holy books stops them to think out of box to study our scriptures, have to come out of their religious thinking to propose their theories where as Hindus do not need to come out of Dharma since Science and Spirituality are embedded as a form of religion from the beginning.
