Dismantling of Hindu Cosmology by European Colonialists
During the 18th and 19th centuries, European scholars attempted to dismantle ancient Hindu cosmology to align it with the 5,000-year biblical timescale. This effort was part of a broader movement to establish a single, objective Western archaeology that suppressed traditional knowledge systems from India, Africa, and Asia. Today, a "plural archaeology" movement exists that welcomes non-Western epistemologies into the academic discourse.
