Dirks -- The making of modernity : gender and time in Indian cinema / Veena Das -- Body politic in colonial India / Gyan Prakash.Modernity has always laid claim to universal certainty-which meant assigning a different and lesser significance to anything deemed purely local, non-Western, or lacking a universal expression.
