We now have the vast majority of people who have sketchy knowledge of their own culture and read about it in English.

It must be noted that as the chapters progress further and till it ends the author has done a tremendous job setting forth a viewpoint that without a shade of doubt fleshes out certain imperatives which have guided the whole process of colonization and all the other factors which speak of its reality.

We then discover that these principles led them to a "civilizing" and "reformation" mission of the non-Christian world and thus uprooting the collective lived experiences and traditions of indigenous societies the world over. Coloniality reshaped the very concept of history and time through the creation of constructs as ‘modernity’ and ‘rationality’, terms which are loosely used in contemporary everyday conversations without knowledge of their colonial origins. This book seeks to unravel the veil of coloniality that has profoundly shaped the thinking of the conquered by white European Christian subjugation. This is a clear reference to the author’s own experience when he appeared in court to argue against the plea of feminists demanding entry into the Sabarimala temple in Kerala.

A destruction of all places of worship by the colonizer placed him in a convenient position to manipulate the original belief system of the colonized so as to be malleable to the former’s own motives. Civil Commercial litigation, Constitutional law and Competition law are my primary areas of practice.With a view to ameliorating the malevolent designs of colonialism from constantly festering in the psyche of policy making mavens and the common man alike, decolonization attempts to “release production of knowledge from the stranglehold of the West, which could lead to greater diversity of thought and subjectivity, in particular, resurgence and re-existence of indigenous perspective. Since 2010, I have been writing intermittently on the blawg “The Demanding Mistress” on civil commercial litigation.

Once that happened, India was limited to being a nation (and not a civilisational state, as befitted it) and agreed to be measured by LoN’s Standard of Civilisation; which meant Bharat’s civilisation was open to evaluation and certification by an essentially Anglo Saxon enterprise, which was certain of the civilising power of its faith.

Secularism was artificially imposed on India, although the law in England assumed that Christianity was the only true religion and the king or queen was the ‘Defender of the Faith’. The process of substituting Western OET for indigenous OET was rendered convenient due to a paucity of written records maintained by the native. A good example is the “privilege” narrative which they have copied from the West and tried to hammer in India. Because of this he is unable to understand that actions of people can be attributed to things other than malevolence.

This treatise in fact constituted only a descriptive recording of customs and practices, rather than religious law, but it is now wrongly treated as the essence of Hinduism by liberal thinkers. I'll take slavery to Jesus Christ over being part of a misogynistic demon worshiping false religion any day.Claudius Buchanan a Scottish clergyman credited with corruption of the word “Jagannath” to “juggernaut”, portrayed Hinduism as a ‘bloody, violent, superstitious and backward religious system’, which required an immediate ‘social reform’. For example, Vincent Arthur Smith and George Chisholm boldly claim “India, encircled as she is by seas and mountains, is indisputably a geographical unit, and as such is rightly designated by one name. Unbeknown to us, the colonized people’s thoughts are restrained within the bounds set by ideas having a colonial origin. In Bharat's case, we are introduced to Middle Eastern Coloniality as a predecessor of European coloniality and why it should be looked at through the same lens.
