My interest in Foucault has sparked by archival research into the
disciplinary discourses of the colonial state in India, esp. Punjab. One can see a full scale deployment of human sciences in the construction of
colonial subject. But question remains, to what extend the forms of
subjectification and the project of knowlege production diverge. With
Foucault never entering a direct analysis of colonialism, how one is to
understand the specificity of colonial domination in the non-western world?

best, no
