Intro to Hinduism
Orientalism refers to the way Western cultures have historically depicted and understood Eastern societies, particularly in ways that emphasize exoticism, cultural stereotypes, and colonial attitudes. This term is often associated with the portrayal of Asian cultures, including Hinduism, as 'other' or inferior, reflecting a power dynamic where Western narratives dominate the representation of Eastern traditions.
