Reconceptualizing India Studies: Lecture at the book release in Brussels, 14 December 2012 (original) (raw)

The presentation emphasizes the necessity of reconceptualizing India Studies in light of the shifting global dynamics, particularly with the rise of Indian and other Asian cultures. It critiques existing Western-centric narratives that misrepresent Indian culture as reflections of European experiences rather than understanding it on its own terms. By advocating for a more authentic representation of Indian culture, the talk points towards a broader understanding of cultural interactions in the contemporary world.
