Rethinking orientalism: colonialism and the study of Indian traditions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the discussions about Orientalist construction of Hinduism two statements are very much prevalent: 1) textual attitude of the British colonial scholarship towards native traditions of India was crucial and 2) the Brahmins were collaborative "native agents" in the process of constructing one monolythical Hinduism. Authors argue that power relations of the colonial period are not explaining the creation of "Hinduism" at all. Two above mentioned statements are analysed as a continuity of Orientalist thought. Authors bring a lot of evidence that already pre-colonial European thinkers since the Middle Ages conceptualised unified Indian "religion" of Brahmins. Thus already pre-colonial European intelligentia created Gestalt for later "Hinduism". It can beshown very well that origins of this discourse are Christian theological in nature.
