"Imperialism fucked up the heads of so many people whom it touched - both colonialists and colonized (Frantz Fanon was absolutely and deeply right about that) and until that - ultimately depressing - legacy of its existence is finally killed, neither Africa nor African studies will be able to make real progress."

Okay, so explain India.

India had a long history as a great culture and power for many long years before the Muslims started their invasion and rapine around 700-800AD, what to speak of the British. India was an empire, with great influence, trade, literature, astronomical and mathematical knowledge, social structure and so on. India and Africa cannot be compared.
