In this webinar series, we will be exploring the geneology of Hindudvesha. While Hindudvesha goes far back into history, we will pick up an important thread with the writings from the British Colonial era which set in motion a certain narrative about the Hindu civilization. We will look at how the “Ruler’s Gaze” of the British era distorted not only their perception of the Hindu world, but also our own, and what consequences these colonists era writings continue to have on our own self-understanding, today.

We ought to have more of such webinars to validate the erstwhile view that the colonisers tried their very best oi eradicate the great Hindu culture. No wonder in the British curriculum there is hardly any space for Hindu religious studies
