So is this perspective expressed here that "the legacy of white supremacist colonizers in India gives the contemporary Indian left ammo with which to attack and undermine the goodly Hindu nationalists who totally don't want to revive reactionary, patriarchal bullshit"? Do I have that right?
That's part of it but they also mention the impact of the subaltern school of Indian historiography which involves studying lower class and common people rather than elites. I didn't include that context on the screenshot but in any case the logical outline of this section is confused at best
