More about the book

Exploring the intersection of culture and European colonialism, this essay utilizes Edward Said's concept of "Orientalism" as a foundation. It analyzes two contrasting works: Christopher Bayly's "Empire and Information," which challenges the notion of European knowledge dominance, and Nicholas Dirks' "Castes of Mind," highlighting the enduring impact of European ideas on post-colonial caste systems in India. The discussion emphasizes how cultural frameworks shaped colonial experiences and continue to influence contemporary understandings of history and identity.
