Why west and its science keeps appropriating hindu knowledge
indc saysWhy west and its science keeps appropriating hindu knowledge
We don’t appropriate your silly religious beliefs. So what’s your problem?
Why west and its science keeps appropriating hindu knowledge and then goes around and terms hindu knowledge as superstitions. This comes from christian supremacy syndrome.
What I find amusing is that @indc doesn't understand the scientific method.
The fundamental goal of science is to incorporate ALL knowledge and discard the superstitions entirely. It's a very noble goal - acquire all knowledge that can be obtained, and verify the knowledge by a set of tests to verify it is correct. Gee, look at how horrible THAT has gone? Now I can talk to an Indian on the other side of the planet, or quite possibly I'm talking to an Indian on this side of the planet because they made use of a Jet plane aircraft. Oh the humanity!!!
Many people don't appreciate it, but the average person lives better than the richest and most powerful king did...

Nice strawman. And a butthurt. For no good reason.
Yeah, so we adapt it and absorb it into OUR culture, the DOMINANT culture.
What do we have to do, learn Hindi and wear our fucking bed sheets around?
Pay a small licensing fee maybe?
Don't join the other loser cultures griping about "appropriation".
If it's useful or superior, it SHOULD be appropriated.
I don't think Americans have any problem that India is using telephones, televisions, computer chips, the Internet, or anything else that was invented on this continent.
So sick of this stupid whining about "cultural appropriation".

Do you think people around the world dont acknowledge that all these are from America? And dont they even pay licensing fee to american companies? Do you even know what "appropriation" actually means?
When your science proves that so called "superstitions" is actually science isn't it it's responsibility to acknowledge it?
Why don't you explain what "appropriation" means to you?
From what I've seen it applied to, it means simply adopting something from another culture. There's NOTHING wrong with that..

No.
Does it matter who discovered relativity, quantum mechanics, RSA encryption, stack based processing, etc? Who cares where something is from, how it originated. What matters is that it works.
Taking the knowledge and then telling the source that they are stupid is appropriation.

If Indians were honest about this, you’d all still be living in mud huts and shitting in the street. You appropriated modern civilization from the West and you still want to whine about us appreciating some of your minor ideas?

You are defining cultural appropriation. Making black face or putting feathers in your hair is not really appropriation. Taking the knowledge and then telling the source that they are stupid is appropriation.
Do you know that your ancestors used to take a bath once a year? When they came to india they were making fun of Indians for taking bath everyday. HAHAHA. India has 10000yr old history. So stop your stupid comments of shitting in street and living in mud huts.
It does not matter who discovered whatever. So you are ok with china taking all your IP?
When the Roman Empire collapsed, the public bath houses weren't maintained, and over time, the ancestors simply didn't have the ability to maintain them - so because the Roman Catholic Church (which really was just the government of Europe, it was the successor to Rome) just declared that bathing was ungodly.
As long as it's not classified - yes.....Ever hear of the "great awakening"?

Good explanation. Now to the idiot who keeps complaining about indians living in squalor. Invaders looted everything they had. Just UK is said to have looted 45trillion from India. Once the roman civilization ended it took 1000yrs for europe to come to some form of civilization again. India is just 75yrs old.

It's a wokeist term to shame white people for using things traditionally used by a "underprivileged" group. Like when a honky trustafarian wears dreadlocks.
I wouldn't say the occupation of India by England WAS a bad thing. It (mostly) ended the practice of Sati, it brought in modernity, it ended royal rule, it united a nation that had been fighting among one another for centuries, it (technically) ended the caste system, and it created a common language - English.
So is indc saying that the 16th century Japanese (east not west) have appropriated Indian knowledge despite having built a martial arts system out of it? Where's India's ninjitsu program?

Dreadlocks? is this some knowledge system? Do you even try to read what I am trying to say? or the words just trigger something and you start to defend your history?

They killed the culture and now made a country of 1bil coolies. So no they did not help India in anyway.
Forcible mixing of culture was inevitable and I don't have an OUNCE of regret what the Europe did to India, because I had no control over it, or responsibility for it. Good or bad, it happened. I wouldn't exist if there wasn't a potato famine in Ireland and if Hitler didn't exist. Both those events didn't only make me possible, it made you possible. We're all a product of everything that came before us.
I dont expect you guys benefiting from opression to understand your short comings.
I am not talking about what europeans did in 1700's. I am talking about what europeans are doing to the world now.
Did you read about what happened to canadian indigenous kids?

Here is a evengalist's daugter-in-law audrey truschke still ranting about hindus being more evil:

Did you watch StarGate? do you think the aliens made the life of locals better by invading and making them slaves.
