If an Indian, in the name of being open-minded while studying social sciences and humanities, wants to explore foreign-origin ideologies and schools of thought like socialism, keynesianism, postmodernism, wokeism, empiricism, positivism, then by all means he can.

If knowledge is his goal, then nothing can be considered 'foreign'. That's cool.

But its odd when he dismisses, sidelines and scorns free market capitalism, austro-libertarianism, rationalism, kantianism, classical liberalism and realism.

If knowledge is his goal, why does the latter invoke a sense of dogmatic rejection of the latter?

Is it at all possible that a skewed methodology of acquiring and interpretating knowledge in social sciences can result in unfair interpretations of Indian culture and history, leading to him misinterpreting and often times detesting his own roots outright?
