Bourdieu, a famous French sociologist of the 20th century, pointed out that the overall educational system across the globe systematically marginalizes the weak and vulnerable. The whole system is created to reinforce imperialism, white supremacy, and the Western way of creating and thinking about knowledge. Due to this reinforcement of Western means of understanding the phenomenon, the social scientists of non-Western countries are making zero contributions to overall society. This could be seen with an increased level of violence, unrest, low economic development, incompetence of local businesses to compete globally, and anarchy in developing countries, despite a plethora of publications about all of the above issues in top academic journals. Historically, if we see the term ‘research,’ it is inextricably linked to imperialism and colonialism. Early social sciences research was carried out on various communities to create knowledge through which imperialism and colonization could be further advanced. Further, the primary emphasis of Western social sciences research remains to ‘measure’ human emotions and behaviors. Understanding of phenomenon is viewed as being akin to measuring. Therefore, the way social scientists try to understand the world is reduced to issues of measurement. Hence, the focus of understanding becomes more concerned with procedural problems rather than understanding the phenomenon. Furthermore, the Western knowledge system is mostly grounded in ‘positivism.’ Positivists believe that the ‘truth’ is singular. Therefore, the singular truth could be measured through scientific tools. However, in the recent past, the fresh air of interpretivism and constructivism has challenged this means of understanding the truth. Yet, the social sciences scientists in developing countries are still driven by the traditional mien of understanding the truth through the positivistic lens. This has severe negative consequences for countries with a blend of culture, where truth is created through the value system of various collectivistic sub-cultures. For example, mainstream or liberal feminism cannot be implemented in many Muslim countries because of localized traditional and cultural values. Therefore, understanding the local culture is needed to empower marginalized women, and that is not possible through the Western lens of conducting research. The corruption of knowledge has severe consequences for the social sciences field, as we are creating science that is developed in our libraries, which has no connection with reality The theory is the chief protagonist in social sciences research, and the deductive approach remains its true love. Social sciences researchers are so much engulfed in contributing to the scholarship that they have forgotten the mission of a researcher to bring a positive change in society. Further, to create knowledge, unfortunately, in the 21st century, social sciences researchers of developing countries are following outdated methods, which were created to reinforce imperialism and colonization. Notably, the research conducted in a developing country further enforces white supremacy, as social sciences researchers are using methods to understand the social phenomenon, which has nothing to do with the Eastern way of knowledge creation. For instance, scientific tools like surveys are used extensively, whereas the diction in those surveys like differentiating between ‘highly disagree’ and ‘highly agree,’ is very subjective and cannot be generalized. The statistical methods employed are Western-based with no connection to local culture. Additionally, the researchers from the Eastern world have to acknowledge that Western means of thinking is grounded in materialism and monist ontology that leads to objective methods, such as surveys. Whereas Eastern means of understanding a phenomenon is dependent on spiritualism and idealism. Therefore, research through positivistic means like surveys in Eastern culture is meaningless. In addition, the research is conducted and published in ‘English’ in many former colonized eastern countries with specific academic jargon, which cannot be understood by the practitioners. If we see the government policies of developing countries of South Asia and Middle, in the recent years, we can see that there is no step taken by to give access to the practitioner to the knowledge created in the scientific journals or to think about translating all the scientific research into local languages. Further, the only method to evaluate a researcher in the current paradigm remains the number of publications and citations. The higher the numbers, the more the chances of a better job, promotion, and job security. This means of evaluation has led to unethical practices in the realm of social sciences. Additionally, the cooking and manufacturing of data are commonly employed by scholars due to ‘publish or perish’ academic approach. Also, many research supervisors encourage students to use unethical means to complete their research dissertations. This corruption of knowledge has severe consequences for the social sciences field, as we are creating science that is developed in our libraries, which has no connection with reality. Many social sciences academic journals daily are producing tons of research masterpieces on various topics about organizational theory, diversity inclusion, social justice, and macro-economic indicators. However, few are being read, and the audience that is reading it are those nerds (e.g., Ph.D. students and academia scholars), who do not influence the real world. Hence, we, the social scientists, are constructing our own space of reality, where we are nurturing our ideas with no one to consume.
