• W2595923295 abstract "Motto:The East is a career.(Benjamin Disraeli, Tancred)The East is waiting to be understood by Western races, in order not only to be able to give what is true in her, but also to be confident of her own mission.(Rabindranath Tagore, East and West)I lived all time with my memories of India. Wherever I went, whatever house I might visit, I would be required eventually to talk about India.(Mircea Eliade, Autobiography)When we think about Orient, we already have in mind a difference between us - Westerners, and them - Easterners. For many centuries we were defined as civilized, Christians, white. Meanwhile they were seen as savages, having too many Gods to count, and too many colors and customs. They are exotic, we are normal.Orientalism, as a term, was coined (and it is very well known because of) by Edward Said, famous writer, in 1978, in his bestseller called According to him, he first Orientalists were 19th century scholars who translated writings of the into English, based on assumption that a truly effective colonial conquest required knowledge of conquered peoples. This idea of knowledge as power is present throughout Said's critique. By knowing Orient, West came to own it. The Orient was passive; West was active.Said observed thatThe Orient was Orientalized not only because it was discovered to be Oriental in all those ways considered commonplace by an average nineteenth-century European, but also because it could be - that is, submitted to being - made Oriental2.The Orient exists for West, and is constructed by and in relation to West. When speaking about India, situation is even more difficult. For a European, India will always be a wonderful land, with legends and amazing stories, with marvelous places to see and interesting people to meet; a mysterious place filled with wisdom and holiness. During times, European travelers were trying to find in India exotic and holy, but also power - cultural or economic - they never gained in their countries. As remains true even today, India has always attracted world's greatest minds in search of Absolute or for knowledge or for commerce or even for pleasure.Almost from earliest times in Europe Orient was something more than what was empirically known about it. [...] As a discipline representing institutionalized Western knowledge of Orient, Orientalism thus comes to exert a three-way force, on Orient, on Orientalist, and on Western consumer of Orientalism3.Many European scholars became interested in Orientalism and traveled into India or China or Middle East in search for Absolute and new interpretations of universe. Among these scholars we can find Romanian bom historian of religions, Mircea Eliade. He was not, of course, first Romanian to put his foot on Indian soil, but he was first that started a national exaltation regarding India, and this was possible because his famous novel, Maitreyi (Bengal Nights4).Beginning with Mircea Eliade, India (and Orient) received an important place in hearts of Romanians. His story and encounter with India motivated many young scholars to take road to Orient and to learn new things, to improve their knowledge and to create something new5. As for Eliade, he arrived in Calcutta on New Year's Eve of 1928, and he settled at Mrs. Perris's pension, on 82 Ripon Street. Years later, he remembered his Indian episodes, and also what that period meant for him:In autumn of 1928, a few weeks after having taken my Licence es Lettres, I left Bucharest for India, and returned in January 1932, with a suitcase overflowing with notebooks and folders. I called it my storehouse, for everything was there: descriptions of temples, monuments, and slums; narratives of Himalayan adventures and discoveries; my first, awkward translations from Sanskrit, as well as detailed reports of intimate experiences, discussions with my professor and guru, Surendranath Dasgupta6, with Tagore7, and with any number of yogis and sadhus from Benares, Hardwar, and Rishikesh. …" @default.
