Talk:Indomania

Quote
Moved out of context quote here: Voltaire: "It does not behove us, who were only savages and barbarians when these Indian and Chinese peoples were civilized and learned, to dispute their antiquity."

J Krishnamurti
Is portrayed in the 20th Century Section as one of those influential in the spread of Hinduism. This is contrary to his declarations for 60+ years. I'm adding the Template:Dubious to prompt the addition of proper supporting sources or else his removal from the list. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.127 (talk) 18:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Merger to Orientalism?
Shouldn't this article be merged to orientalism? Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   21:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Though, there is a book with the term "Indomania" in the title: Douglas T. McGetchin (2009), Indology, Indomania, and Orientalism: Ancient India's Rebirth in Modern Germany, Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. And what does it say in the first paragraph of its introduction? That Germany had, 1903, 74 professors, 26 of which were involved in "Aryan" studies, compared to 4 professors in the same area in England: "There was a decided lack of interest in South Asia in England." (p.17). So, the lead of this article is already incorrect. I've corrected it.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   21:28, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Oppose. Indomania is notable on its own and distinct from Orientalism. For instance, Said's orientalism is about middle eastern cultures, not Indomania. We also have Egytopmania, Persophilia, Sinophile, ... which would then also have to be merged into orientalism. --Calypsomusic (talk) 11:31, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Incomplete History
This article says nothing about the history of Portuguese India, which predates the English by two centuries. In fact, the Portuguese Jesuits had promulgated a very negative view of Hindu society, and it was influenced by and influenced the Reformation in Europe. Moreover the negative view had spread to England as well. All this is in Raf Gelders' brilliant 2009 article on the genealogy of the (British) colonial dioscourse. Genealogy of Colonial DIscourse, in Comparative Studies in Society and History Vol. 51, No. 3 (Jul., 2009), pp. 563-589 (27 pages) Published By: Cambridge University Press, 2009Sooku (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
