We adopt a decolonizing framework in this article to examine how legacies of colonialism and coloniality continue to manifest in Euro-American psychology. The population of India is now over 1.2 billion people with over 356 million young; they make up the world’s largest youth population, but their stories remain largely invisible in Euro-American psychology. For this article, we draw on a growing body of research by decolonial theorists and our ethnographic research. We argue that Euro-American psychological science now reworks the old forms of imperialism and domination in neoliberal contexts of globalization. In particular, we analyze (a) how mainstream psychological knowledge of “culture” and “diversity” have reinforced a neoliberal self in postcolonial India; (b) the varied ways in which identities, values, and mental health experiences of marginalized communities have been silenced and ignored through the application of Euro-American psychiatric and colonial psychological knowledge; and (c) how persistent caste-based violence and exploitation in contemporary times reflects the “internal coloniality” of Indian society.

我们在本文中采用非殖民化框架来研究殖民主义和殖民主义的遗产如何继续在欧美心理学中表现出来。印度人口现在超过 12 亿，其中年轻人超过 3.56 亿；他们构成了世界上最大的青年人口，但他们的故事在欧美心理学中基本上是隐形的。在本文中，我们借鉴了非殖民主义理论家越来越多的研究和我们的民族志研究。我们认为，欧美心理科学现在在全球化的新自由主义背景下重塑了帝国主义和统治的旧形式。我们特别分析了（a）“文化”和“多样性”的主流心理学知识如何在后殖民时代的印度强化了新自由主义自我；(b) 身份、价值观、通过欧美精神病学和殖民心理学知识的应用，边缘化社区的心理健康经历被压制和忽视；(c) 当代持续存在的基于种姓的暴力和剥削如何反映印度社会的“内部殖民性”。
