Evidence that prejudiced white western beliefs about orient turned out to be wrong ? Who is surprised fellas.
This might sound like a racist rant but it is not. I routinely come across American Indologists routinely publishing papers about India which are way off than what an Indian might be able to see as trivial truth. I will not be surprised of Western world has made similar mistakes about the Orient.
I think western academia needs a more unbiased fact-check about their understanding of the rest of the world especially in the times of xenophobia.
