Kaushal,
Thanks for the great article(s) on Indology.
To understand the Western mind, its background, etc, a well structured "Westology" or "White-ology" is also needed.
See a new article of prolific & deep Rajiv Malhotra on this topic:
Whiteness Studies and Implications for Indian-American Identity

Intro/Excerpt:
I have been pursuing other deeper areas of research concerning the dynamics of cross-cultural relations. My forthcoming book manuscript requires another six months of work. It is based on a 400-year analysis of American history, specifically with respect to the way in which American identity and character have evolved. One of several underpinnings of this project is the discipline known as Whiteness Studies.
Infinity Foundation is pleased to announce that its collaboration with the Center for the Study of White American Culture in New Jersey has resulted in the first comprehensive bibliography on the academic discipline of Whiteness Studies. This 175-page bibliography is available at:

My earlier article on Whiteness Studies (a dialog with the Director of the Center referenced above) is posted at: http://rajivmalhotra.sulekha.com/blog/post...ess-studies.htm.
