PHS6302 – (MA/DHS – Elective Course) This course will analyze in detail the psychological and sociological consequences of the British colonial narratives on Hindus, and how the narratives now are being perpetuated by the Hindus themselves. Just as correct diagnosis of any condition is a prerequisite for its cure, for decolonizing the Hindu condition, it is important to first understand the characteristics and consequences of colonization. Then, as a natural corollary, the process of decolonization can begin. Without a thorough understanding of what colonization has wrought upon the Hindu condition, decolonization will remain a mere buzz word or a vacuous term devoid of meaning.
