Description
Decolonizing Hinduism is a critical examination of how colonial powers and Western academic traditions have misinterpreted and reshaped Hindu philosophy, spirituality, and cultural practices. Author Shubham G Deore argues that Hindu thought has been filtered through Western lenses, fundamentally altering its meaning and relevance in the modern world.
The book challenges conventional narratives about Hinduism, presenting a framework for understanding Hindu traditions on their own terms rather than through colonial or Western philosophical filters. Through scholarly analysis and historical context, Deore demonstrates how decolonization of Hindu intellectual traditions can lead to a more authentic and empowering understanding of this ancient philosophy.
This work is essential for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding how colonialism shaped religious discourse and how we can recover indigenous perspectives in spirituality and philosophy.
