Скачать или смотреть The Colonial Stigmata: Construction of a Corrupt Image of India | Dr. Dunkin Jalki | Rahul Dewan

How colonial narratives continue to shape India's self-perception in the modern world. In this thought-provoking lecture, one can discover how persistent negative stereotypes about India originated in colonial discourse and continue to influence both Western perception and Indian self-image today.
Professor Dunkin Jalki challenges the prevailing narrative of "corrupt India" by examining the mathematical impossibility of these claims and revealing how these stereotypes are rooted in religious and colonial prejudice rather than factual data. Discover how these harmful narratives are perpetuated through education, media, and even our own social media behavior.
This lecture was presented at Banaras Hindu University as part of a series on decolonizing Indian studies.
