A few years ago, when a friend, Jorge Ishizawa from Lima, asked for a copy of my book Cultural Foundations of Mathematics, I wondered what he would do with it. (I sent it, but it bounced back.) On a recent visit to Peru, I had a conversation with people at his organization PRATEC, which works with traditional Andean knowledge. Interestingly, many of them were aware of my work.
Found out that Bolivia has a full-fledged Ministry for Decolonisation! India should have one too!
