The present Indian academic self-understanding of its history and culture is largely Western in origin. This Western intellectual enterprise, however, went hand in hand with a Western political enterprise, i.e the colonization of India. This raises the question: To what extent, if any, did the two developments influence each other ? It also raises another question; To what extent did West's cultural presuppositions influence its understanding of Indian civilization ?
