The 3 M’s Of Hinduphobia: Mill, Macaulay and Marx

A new analysis identifies three historical figures as key sources of what it terms Hinduphobia: the British philosopher John Stuart Mill, the British politician Thomas Babington Macaulay, and the German philosopher Karl Marx.

The article argues that Mill's writings on India, Macaulay's educational policies, and Marx's critiques of religion collectively contributed to a Western narrative that disparages Hindu traditions and culture.

It contends that these figures, through their influential works and policies, helped establish a framework that continues to inform modern biases against Hinduism.

The piece calls for a re-examination of these intellectual legacies and their impact on contemporary perceptions of the Hindu faith.
