Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper discusses Orientalism framework. In the first part of this paper, I talked about an account of historical context of Orientalism with special reference to Edward Said. In the second part of this paper, I discuss Orientalism which is seen through different perspectives along with the advantages and disadvantages impact on Orientalism. In the third part of this paper, I discuss Peter Heehs, six different styles of Orientalist discourse about India, along with Sri Aurobindo national Orientalist in order to show that Indocentrism culture and Eurocentrism culture both needs one another. I have explained Indocentrism by using the example of Aurobindo as a national Orientalist and Eurocentrism by using the example of Edward Said as a Western Orientalist. I have noticed that after Edward Said’s analysis on Orientalism, many recent changes too place, which was ignored by him.
