In this episode we're joined by Dr. Somak Biswas, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge and author of “Passages Through India,” who delves into the concept of Indophilia.

The discussion covers the distinctions between Indophilia and Orientalism, the Western fascination with Indian spirituality, and how these cultural interactions have shaped Indo-Western dynamics.

Dr. Biswas shares insights from his research on history, migration, and spirituality, revealing surprising discoveries and deep discipleship. This episode offers a fascinating exploration of cultural connections and the secularization of spiritual relationships.

Tune in for an enlightening conversation about the historical and cultural ties between India and the West.
