Decolonisation: Detoxifying the Indian Mind
Decolonisation of Indian mind can be compared to the process of detoxifying India's mind, body and soul. The toxic impurities that have percolated into the Indian polity due to centuries of Mohammedan invasions and proselytising western colonisers need to be flushed out of the Indian thought process to achieve the temperament of swaraj in a real sense. Academia to Administration and from policies to its execution, the shadow of colonisation is in some way or the other, impacting our decisions and approach. We believe ourselves to be free from its shackles and see ourselves to be acting in detachment, but in reality, we have not been entirely successful in achieving swaraj in our thoughts. We have started off in the right direction; however, it will take long and strenuous effort to free us from this legacy and arrive at the divined destiny of swaraj.
