[Gargi #Decolonization 🇮🇳 @gargiuvacha]

The real Trojan horse in Indian academia is not IKS. It is the colonial hangover that still decides what counts as “knowledge” only after the West has stamped it.

Western universities can produce endless jargon-heavy papers on gender studies, race theory, decolonial studies, post-humanism, sexuality, identity, embodiment, consciousness, trauma, ritual, memory, and lived experience - and somehow all of that becomes “critical scholarship.”

But the moment Indian institutions study Sanskrit, logic, Ayurveda, consciousness, reincarnation, astronomy, linguistics, temple architecture, ritual systems, or Indic theories of mind, the same ecosystem suddenly screams “pseudoscience.”

The hypocrisy is not even subtle anymore.

For decades, the West has freely mined Indic knowledge. Yoga becomes “mind-body wellness.” Dhyana becomes “mindfulness.” Pranayama becomes “breathwork.” Ayurveda becomes “integrative medicine.” Sanskrit grammar becomes a subject of computational interest. Indian logic, linguistics, aesthetics and consciousness studies are quietly studied abroad.

But when IITs study the same civilizational knowledge from within India, by Indians, with Indian frameworks, it is called a “Trojan horse.”

This article takes one case and uses it to condemn an entire field. That is not scholarship. That is prejudice dressed up as concern.

I am myself doing https://t.co/u7BVSYLBuQ from IIT in an IKS-related area, and let me say this very clearly: the academic rigour is crazy. It is demanding, painful and precise. Professors do not allow vague claims, lazy romanticism, or fluffy civilizational pride to pass as research. We are repeatedly taught the difference between rigorous study and intellectual fluff.

That is exactly how it should be.

No serious supporter of IKS is asking for superstition to be inserted into science. What we are asking for is something very basic: stop treating Indian knowledge systems as guilty until proven Western.

Study them. Test them. Debate them. Critique them. Refine them. Reject what fails. Preserve what is profound. But do not shut the door before the work even begins.

The deeper problem with this article is its civilizational insecurity. It assumes that Indian categories of knowledge are automatically a suspect, while Western academic categories are automatically respectable.

That is not a scientific mindset. It is colonial.

And yes, it is especially rich when such lectures come from platforms that have spent years normalizing every anti-Hindu, anti-civilizational, anti-India frame as “liberal scholarship,” but suddenly become guardians of rigour when IITs begin studying India seriously.

IKS does not need blind celebration. It needs tough scholarship.

But it also does not need gatekeepers who panic the moment India begins thinking in her own categories again.

Next time you see a paid influencer harping about China please ask him to show poop floods.

Poor construction and even pathetic sewage make poop floods a common sight in China. And some like to walk and wade in it. Not judging humans but who like walking in poop💁‍♂️

Although abolished in 1949 on paper, but people belonging to higher hierarchy still own people of lower status.

A video on Chinese Social Media is getting viral in which Owner caning a slave woman by the roadside in broad day light.
