I am glad that I didn't purchase their smart monitor called M7. It is sad that Samsung is fast losing their hard earned reputation.

I stick to F-droid android app store. it asks developer to submit their code which gets compiled by the F-Droid team. apps with proprietary codes are flagged.

In simple terms, colonial hangover is still there despite countless discourses over racism. Anyway, enjoy reading Prof. Raju. He has dobe a conference on the issue of Academic Imperialism, which is worth a watch on youtube.

My favorite talk by him is on Calendars.

> It is rather unfortunate, and certainly extends beyond the realm of science.

yes, euro-centric biases extend beyond sciences. Here is one take on Kant's humorous belief about us Easterners by a professor from Singapore.

Academic philosophy in ‘the West’ ignores and disdains the thought traditions of China, India and Africa. This must change

Eurocentric biases are dominate across various academic disciplines. they either deny the attribution to our culture or call it plain superstitious belief.

enlightening article on devastating effect of it by śri lankan biologist:

then the onus of proof lies with us to prove suśruta was indeed a great surgeon, whereas we never see Europeans giving evidence to establish that Euclid was a real man.

Following book by prof. CK Raju on Euclid is a worthy read for anyone who wish to learn how Academic Imperialism works to perpetuate the aforementioned biases.

please do explore other work of prof. Rāju.
