Rajiv Malhotra explained how the cause-and-effect theory or the karma theory according to Hindu tradition, is used in Social Sciences. According to Western scholarship, Vedas are the cause of all problems. To counter this, we need a Vedic Social Science theory, but we have not developed this for modern times. Rajiv underlined the distinction between social practices and social theory. There is a need for Dharmasastra for modern Bharat, as a smriti for our times. Indians are following Western Social Sciences by default, and this means being trapped in Western Universalism. One powerful method is to use Sanskrit non-translatables. For example, understand the meaning of Rashtra.
