J. Sai Deepak
“The spiritual character of the relationship between indigeneity and nature is an emotion that the coloniser can at best exoticise but can never relate to.”
J Sai Deepak, India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution

Rajiv Malhotra
“India itself cannot be viewed only as a bundle of the old and the new, accidentally and uncomfortably pieced together, an artificial construct without a natural unity. Nor is she just a repository of quaint, fashionable accessories to Western lifestyles; nor a junior partner in a global capitalist world. India is its own distinct and unified civilization with a proven ability to manage profound differences, engage creatively with various cultures, religions and philosophies, and peacefully integrate many diverse streams of humanity.”
Rajiv Malhotra, Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism

S.L. Bhyrappa
“An author doesn't have the moral right to violate truth and take refuge in the claim that he/she is only a creative artist.”
S.L. Bhyrappa, ಆವರಣ [Aavarana]

“At least four forms of colonialism are recognised, namely exploitation colonialism, settler colonialism, surrogate colonialism and internal colonialism,”
