On this Special Report, author Amish Tripathi discusses the need to decolonise the Indian education system and what he terms a ‘slavery mindset’. Tripathi argues that a westernised approach has disconnected the Indian elite from indigenous knowledge systems, citing examples in medicine, architecture, city planning, and the writing of history. ‘We need to decolonize our education system so that we can do this, so that we have an elite which realizes they’re not living in Europe, they’re living in India,’ says author Amish Tripathi. He contends that while India should learn from the West, it must not forget its own roots and traditional knowledge, referencing ancient Indian democratic structures like the Vaishali confederacy and the absence of slavery as recorded by the Greek ambassador Megasthenes. The discussion also explores how this colonial mindset has influenced cultural perceptions, including an obsession with fair skin.
