It approaches an interesting relation between the linguistic studies of 19th century?s scientific world and subsequent widespread acceptance of the empirically weak theory of the Aryan invasion. To show entangled history in a globalized world, the book draws on the Aryan Invasion Theory to highlight how different socio-religious parties commonly shape a new theory. It also explores how research is affected by the so-called social construction of theory and comparative epistemology, and deals with scholarly advancement and its relation with contemporary socio-political demands. The most significant conclusion of the book is that academic studies are prone to comparative epistemology, even under the strict scrutiny of the so-called scientific methods. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aMovement (Philosophy) 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aImperialism 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aDevelopment and Post-Colonialism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913070 606 $aPhilosophical Traditions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44000 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aMovement (Philosophy). 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 14$aDevelopment and Post-Colonialism. 615 24$aPhilosophical Traditions. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a338.9 700 $aChattopadhyay Banerjee$b Subrata$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065461 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350229103321 996 $aThe Development of Aryan Invasion Theory in India$92545760 997 $aUNINA
