Why do social sciences breed India-hating copycats?

Q: Why are the  social sciences & humanities (SS& H) profs mostly world-class India-hating copycats ?

A: In Sciences, the laws are more or less universal while tgose in SS &H are society-  and culture-specific.

Since India has had a history of nearly thousand years of foreign domination with little systemic changes even after the Independence in 1947,  there is little or no elbow room for those looking at issues from Indian perspectives.
*
Anti-India and divisive academics and  syllabi in JNU and other such institutions are a case in point. Without India-centric and ingenious thinking in place, most of the academic work is not only copy-paste but proudly anti-India too.

Q: Is there everything bad about us?
A:To be happy about yourself, you are the fastest growing economy with a democratic political system and nearly the best amongst those that became free almost about the same time.
Q: What else do we need if we are doing so well?
A: What's most disconcerting is the inability to tap even 10 % of the available potential because of copycat policy making and divisive politics the seeds of which are sown in our colleges and universities.
