Swadeshi Indology
SWADESHI INDOLOGY CONFERENCE
Swadeshi Indology Conference Series comprise one of the activities of Infinity Foundation India. This series has been envisioned to counter the 250-year-old narrative of Western Indology, the genre of Orientalism that focuses on India. As is well known, Western Indology helped formulate and legitimise the British colonial policies and played a very crucial role in the successful colonisation and oppression of the Indian peoples; it very nearly destroyed the Sanātana Saṁskrti. The Swadeshi Indology Conference Series and publications intend to analyze and respond to the well-orchestrated, systematic attack on:
- The Foundational Elements (the Veda-s, Upaniṣad-s, Itihāsa-s, and Purāṇa-s),
- The Living Principles (the puruṣārtha-s and the varṇāśrama system),
- The Cultural Manifestations (śāstra-s, kāvya-s, and kalā-s) and
- The sacredness of the still living articulations (art, temples, kumbha-mela, festivals, family and social-structures) – that embody sanātana dharma.
