520			_aFor many, the term colonial modernity inspires a spirit of insurgency. From the time of its arrival in the Indian subcontinent by way of imperial powers—following the European Enli¬ghtenment of the 18th century—it has had to face the ire of a fierce group of dissidents. Most of their discomfort lay around the definition of modernity and its ownership. In fact, the definition ¬itself was determined by who could claim the largest stake on modernity and who ended up being at its receiving end. It presented a tricky choice to its audience and practitioners who had the unenviable job of deciding what was acceptably modern and what was not; if you were worse off by not being modern; if mod¬ernity could truly accommodate all our individual perceptions of the modern.- Reproduced
