  • Resumen

  • My guest this month is Patrick McCartney. His written work, on Sanskrit-speaking villages, Sanskrit in the Indian census, the popular use and the politics of Yoga (and many other topics), is very conveniently linked to here. His Yogascapes project has its own website. The Himāl article on Spoken Sanskrit he mentions is linked to here.

    His videos, including his 'A Day in our Ashram' and the videos on his search for the Sanskrit-speaking villages, are available on his YouTube channel.

    You can read more about the Sanskrit programme at Australia National University here. (And of course there is the SSP interview with the wonderful McComas Taylor, the heart of Sanskrit at ANU.)

    The article on the 'Sanskrit Boulevard' from the Hindustan times is here; this is a related article. Read more about M. N. Srinivas and the concept of Sanskritisation. If you are interested in the SOAS- based Haṭha Yoga Project, their website is here; this is a brief introduction to pole yoga or Mallakhamba.

    The books Patrick recommends for people interested getting into the field are Asko Parpola's Roots of Hinduism and Sheldon Pollock's Rasa Reader.

Neocolonialism masquerading as scholarship

Quite unsurprisingly, McCartney’s discussion reeks of arrogant neocolonialism. He is happy to criticize the Indian government’s language and other policies hiding behind the slogans of “language human rights.” But McCartney and other Western “academics” such as the infamous Sheldon Pollock can’t seem to put one very simple thing through their heads. No matter how progressive you think you are, you have NO BUSINESS telling India and Indians what to do. India is an independent country, and although it can and does make mistakes, the age of the proud Western “civilizer” is over. McCartney may view himself as some kind of progressive knight in shimmering armor fighting the good fight. But when you look closer, he is wearing the all-too-familiar pith helmet.
