Indic Research: Framework, Narratives and Truths ll Indic Podcasts ll Ft. Koenraad Elst

Описание: Decolonising the Mind. Reimagining Academia. One Conversation at a Time.

In this first-of-its-kind podcast, we dismantle Western academia. We ask: Who built the frameworks? Who decided the narratives? Whose truths became the gold standard of knowledge? And most importantly—where do we, as Bharatiyas, stand in this grand intellectual conquest?

With Guest Dr. Koenraad Elst – one of the few Western scholars who doesn’t speak about India, but with it, on its terms, in its tongue.
Hosted by Sameer Pande – Political Science & International Relations researcher linking dharma and data.

This isn't your usual polite academic panel. This is a churning (manthan)—of questions you’re not supposed to ask:
How does the west pursue Indian knowledge or knowledge about India?
Why and how is Sanskrit an epistemological language?
The challenges before researchers?
The narratives that work against?
The truths that are needed to be unravelled?
We also discuss rare books, original thinkers, and strategies for building a new academic paradigm, rooted in Indian thoughts, not peer review journals and euro-centric citations.
Ends with a curated list of must-read texts for serious seekers.
For young researchers, it’s a map. For seasoned ones, a mirror.
Tune in for insights, arguments, and the thrill of deconstructing a well-packaged lie.
