About Book
Orientalism, Empire, and National Culture seeks to revise this view, and suggests that it was instead composed of a set of 'double practices' in India , by virtue of the British reliance upon Hindu scholarly intermediaries, the Sanskrit pandits. It is thus argued that orientalism was ultimately a much more ambiguous, and potentially subversive, enterprise, as Indian Sanskrit scholars also adapted the institutional and social underpinnings of colonial rule to produce newly-inflected, and often overtly anti-colonial, Hindu identities.
