Swadeshi Indology 2The second Swadeshi Indology Conference (SI-2) was held on the 17th, 18th, and 19th ofFebruary 2017 – at IGNCA, New Delhi on the theme – Global Perceptions of Indian Heritage.The conference had six components: an inaugural function, a few plenary sessions, paperpresentations, Vakyārtha Sadas sessions, release of monographs, and a valediction.Everything went on as planned, except that the sessions extended up to almost 7.30 pm inthe evenings, owing to extended discussions. IGNCA (Indira Gandhi National Centre for theArts) played a key role providing the venue (3 halls) as well as local hospitality and otherbenefactions.In all, 35 papers were presented on ten themes – in three simultaneous tracks in 3 halls; thetopics pertained to the extraordinary claims of Prof. Sheldon Pollock, purporting consciously(or at best ostensibly unconsciously) to misinterpret our heritage.The focus on Pollock (as with SI-1) was on grounds of his being the most influential scholar –in academic circles (also through his students who are well placed in celebrated academia),firstly, and secondly, in his reach on the general public, especially Indian (by virtue of hiseditorship in leading publishing houses); but even more importantly on grounds of thecomplex and complicated intellectual maze he has conjured, aimed at confounding and

bamboozling the reading public by an ostentation of scholarship: in width, depth, or impact,or even the novelty of ideas or interpretations – in short, in terms of the Neo-orientalism hehas sought to bring about in a copiously camouflaged and convoluted language – he hasadded new negative dimensions to Indology (and hence totally incomparable to some of theearlier Orientalist Indologists, the damage caused by whom pales into the background inquality and quantity). So much for the raison d’être of the themes of the conference.Sri Ravishankar Prasad, the Hon’ble Minister for Law and InformationInaugural SessionThe conference was inaugurated by Sri Ravishankar Prasad, the Hon’ble Minister for Law andInformation. Dr Subramanian Swamy, Rajya Sabha MP, gave the key-note address. Prof RVaidyanathan (Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore) and General GD Bakshi gave theSpecial Invitee addresses.

Major PanelsThe first panel was on “The Harvard Tamil Chair” to debate the benefits and dangers from therecently proposed Tamil studies chair at Harvard. There was an intense but mutuallyrespectful debate between Rajiv Malhotra and noted Dravidian intellectual and mediapersonality, Dr G Olivannan. While Dr Olivannan was initially in full support of Harvard’sproposed Tamil Chair, Rajiv Malhotra was able to convince him of the problems caused by thelack of expertise and due diligence on the part of Tamil leaders creating this chair.Shri Rajiv Malhotra and Dr Olivannan discussing Harvard's proposed Tamil ChairShri Malhotra emphasized the need for the Tamil community to be very cautious of themotives of foreign institutions, given their track record of not representing our traditions inan authentic manner, and promoting separatism. Shri Olivannan agreed with Shri Malhotra’sproposal to ensure the development and control of discourse of Tamil culture within TamilNadu, and popularizing it within India.As a direct result of this timely intervention of Rajiv Malhotra and Infinity Foundation, a recentwave of awareness and concern has spread through Tamil intellectuals on the need toundertake stringent due diligence rather than blindly outsourcing our heritage to places likeHarvard.Another panel was on “Aryan theories” where panelists deliberated the various theories thathave emerged since colonial times leading to the formulation of the Aryan and Dravidian“races” and driving the divisive politics in Tamil Nadu. The panel on “ContemporaryHinduphobia” discussed how Hinduphobia operates in the media, in academia, in religious

discourse and in society in contemporary Tamil Nadu. The panelists consisted of researchersin various disciplines including Shri Shrikant Talageri, Shri Nilesh Oak, Dr. GyaneshwerChaubey, Shri M. Venkatesan, Shri Jataayu and Dr Kanakaraj Easwaran.Some of the other panels were on: “Spiritual traditions of Tamil Nadu” discussed how since ancient times, the various Indianspiritual streams such as Jainism, Vaishnavism, Saivism, Shakta tradition have co-existedwithout serious antagonism.“Pan-Indic traditions” discussed the specific practices, language, healing systems of TamilNadu and how they were intertwined and enmeshed with the pan Indic systems.“Legal perspectives on Hinduphobia” discussed the Hinduphobia prevalent in the judicialsystem and processes. Shri Raghavachari highlighted the deep-seated legal prejudicesagainst Hindus in the context of Tamil Nadu.Prof. P Kan
