ABSTRACT

In India, the most comprehensive productions of modern knowledge germinate in Western academies or arise from Western financial charity. Avoiding the ruptures that scar the doxology that is analysis and its foundational notion of time as history would necessitate an alternative hermeneutics. Violence is coded into modern diplomacy because it is the internationalisation of European diplomacy and its axioms are anarchy and binarism. Since the Producer-Centred-Research (PCR) seeks postcolonial diplomacy's rationality, the objects are all that comprise such a state's diplomacy. PCR not only illustrates how analytic-violence is used to commandeer Indian reality, but also how modernity's claims are at best tenuous at a foundational level: history. In addition to modernity's analytic-violence being used to prop up a compromised history and the practices inimical to modernity that PCR unearthed, are the practices which totally refute modernity by altogether eradicating history.
