Why Are Indian Universities Eager to Embrace Woke Cancer?

Introduction: An Intellectual Virus in the Name of Progress

India, a civilization known for its unmatched philosophical depth—from the Upanishads to Vivekananda—is now facing an intellectual epidemic. Not one of technology or knowledge, but of imported ideologies that seek to dismantle rather than dialogue. This disease wears a modern mask: “wokeism.” Many label it as “progressive,” but a more accurate term is Woke Cancer—because like cancer, it spreads silently, attacking the very core of Bharatiya values, traditions, and educational culture.

Today, this ideological infection has infiltrated our universities—spaces once known for debates on Dharma, duty, and civilizational progress. Now, they echo with anti-Hindu slogans, identity politics borrowed from the West, and intellectual dishonesty dressed as activism.



1. Understanding the Roots of Wokeism: A Foreign Seed in Bharatiya Soil

“Wokeism” emerged primarily in Western academia, especially in American universities. It is based on critical theory, which posits that every structure of power—be it race, gender, or class—is inherently oppressive and must be dismantled. While this framework arose in the context of slavery, colonialism, and civil rights struggles in the West, it is blindly transplanted into Indian soil with catastrophic consequences.

In Bharat, this framework doesn’t fit.

  • Because Indian society evolved organically, not through conquest or colonization until recent invasions.

  • Because our traditional systems (like Varna) were originally based on qualities and duties (Guna and Karma), not fixed caste oppression.

  • Because Dharma is dynamic, not dogmatic.

Wokeism sees the world in binaries: oppressor vs. oppressed. But Dharma sees the world in gradients: duties, responsibilities, context, and karma phala (results of actions).


2. Indian Universities: Now Testing Grounds for Cultural Marxism

Our institutions of higher learning have become experiments in Western ideological mimicry. Once known for fostering national consciousness and Indic thought, they now reward those who deconstruct Indian identity in the name of social justice.

Real examples? Let’s look at some:

This is not academia. It is ideological indoctrination. Wokeism has become the new religion—with activists, theories and cancel culture.


3. Woke vs. Dharma: An Incompatible Conflict

Let’s be clear. The battle isn’t between left and right, liberal or conservative. The real war is between Woke and Dharma.

Wokeism

Sanatan Dharma

Sees society as victim vs oppressor

Sees society as interlinked through karma & dharma

Promotes permanent grievance

Promotes harmony and self-improvement

Encourages identity obsession

Encourages self-realization beyond ego

Labels & cancels others

Debates and dialogues respectfully

Thinks guilt is justice

Believes responsibility is liberation

Dharma uplifts, Wokeism divides. Dharma integrates, Wokeism isolates. Dharma creates seekers, Wokeism creates screamers.


4. The Cost of Silence: Cancel Culture and Educational Decay

Unchecked, this ideological colonization has real-world consequences:

  • Self-hating Hindus graduate with contempt for their roots.

  • Civil services and judiciary get filled with those who see India as oppressive rather than sacred.

  • Students are afraid to speak, lest they be labelled “casteist,” “fascist,” or worse.

  • Temple desecration is rationalized, while even defending your culture is branded “saffronization.”

Professors quoting the Bhagavad Gita are warned about "triggering" students. Hindu festivals are turned into “inclusive events” stripped of their meaning. Meanwhile, Western or minority festivals are celebrated with institutional pride.

This isn't academic evolution. It's cultural suicide.


5. The Way Forward: Reclaiming Indian Thought with Confidence

The solution is not isolation, but civilizational assertion. Indian universities must stop being imitation factories and start becoming innovation centers rooted in Bharat’s wisdom.

Here’s how:

  • Establish strong Bharatiya Studies departments in every major university.

  • Restore Sanskrit education and promote texts like the Gita, Upanishads, and Arthashastra.

  • Encourage Indic research journals, think tanks, and student societies that foster indigenous perspectives.

  • Create safe spaces where Hindu identity can thrive without fear or mockery.

  • Empower teachers and students to challenge imported dogmas through reason, not rhetoric.


Conclusion: The Real Freedom Struggle Begins Now

Our ancestors fought British colonialism with the pen, the sword, and the spirit of Swadharma. Now, we must fight intellectual colonialism with the same tools.

The danger of woke ideology is not just that it distorts history—it rewrites identity. It replaces self-realization with self-hatred. If our campuses become echo chambers of imported activism, we will raise a generation fluent in Western oppression models but ignorant of Indian glory.

This is not merely a cultural issue. It is an existential question for Bharat.

Let the universities awaken—not to Wokeism, but to Dharma, pride, and intellectual sovereignty.

Reject woke cancer. Reclaim civilizational confidence. And let our classrooms once again become the gurukuls of truth, not theatres of guilt.
