Abstract

Economic exploitation was at the heart of India’s colonial experience. To counter colonial rule, the Indian nationalists therefore evolved a doctrine of economic nationalism known as swadeshi, which translated roughly means ‘home grown’. Eventially swadeshi was transformed into post-colonial policies of autarky in the management of the economy, science and technology and the defence industries.

Mulkani’s view is that Hinduism is a‘scientific’ religion in so far as it is a utilitarian one that allows the participant to choose his or her best path to spiritual peace without the intercession of dogma.
