Indology Days Over ?

" The word "Indology" has a connotation,a time and clime,a purpose that created it and thus it has an associated sense which is more burdening,distorting and disconcerting than it's usual sense in common parlance or if we go for that vogue etymology.
The colonial masters gone and their propagated theories mostly gone,Indology is meeting with cold shoulders in it's old citadels outside India.
How long shall we continue to look at ourselves with the glasses that 'others' used to scan us for a purpose ?
Can we redefine the subject without being laid by the old misleading baggage ? "
