IIT Mumbai Lecture: Are Indians buying back their own ideas from the West? [Beautiful Speech]

Are Indians Buying Back Their Own Ideas From The West?

Follow me on Twitter: @RajivMessage

It was a great experience recently to present some of my research findings on how Indian ideas get appropriated by the West, re-formulated as "Christian" or as "Western Science", and then re-exported back to India as something "Made in America".

Besides the lecture itself, I have listed separated videos below for each major topic of Q&A. I find these Q&A to be the most stimulating part and each event brings out new and different issues.

1) Lecture: Are Indians buying back their own ideas from the West? - View

2) Discussion: Brand India & Narayan Murthy - View

3) Discussion: How does one attribute "discovery"? - View

4) Discussion: My argument with a social scientist - View

5) Discussion: Overview of how/why I got personally involved in these issues - View

6) Discussion: Pro's & Cons of Chaos, Decentralization, Self-Organization - View

7) Discussion: Our own neglect as a factor causing UTurns - View

8) Discussion: Loss of our purva-paksha tradition and its consequences - View

9) Discussion: Decolonization - View

10) Discussion: Comment on social sciences in India - View

I hope you will find these videos interesting.
