Can the West Leave Goddess Kali Alone, Please? - News18

The last time the West tried to understand the “orient” was when it ended up sending billions of “natives” on an inferiority complex trip through brute colonialism. He didn’t only post the image of Kali in the tweet but he also called her as “Sheer unadulterated narcissism in action” and “the devouring mother arises from the underworld.” Here Jordan was completely at fault for taking Kali out of context to imply that she stands for everything that’s wrong with the world. Someone with basic knowledge of Hinduism would know how wrong Jordan is and how wrong is his understanding of Kali as the “unknown”. They either portray Kali as a negative force — a case in point being Jordan’s tweet and the portrayal of Kali as a monster in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’. It is clearly beyond Jordan B Peterson’s intellectual range to actually understand and know Kali.
