Seeing India

This course has changed my way of seeing.
When I went back home this summer, everything was different, even though nothing was the same.

It's confusing that I had to leave the country, to learn about it, to notice things about it. Distance does give you perspective. But I worry that in a way, it's just a form of recolonizing my mind, isn't it?

If I think the way this system wants me to, am I caught in Spivak's paradox? But just having had the opportunity to be here probably disqualified me anyway.
