Hindutopia: A Critique of Modern Labels
João Pedro Oliveira, a Portuguese scholar, introduces the term 'Hindutopia' to critique modern labels on Hindu mythology. This concept reflects the identity of India's new middle class after the 1991 economic reforms. The New Indian Express argues that these modern labels are a continuation of neo-Orientalism, swapping terms but maintaining the same framework. It emphasizes how contemporary scholarship often prioritizes political interpretations over spiritual aspects.
