DESCRIPTION:By the early decades of the twentieth century\, the introducti
 on of colonial mode of education transformed the existing ways of knowing 
 practices in Malabar and elsewhere in British India. Closely following thi
 s transformation\, this presentation maps the emerging new form of power-k
 nowledge entanglement and the struggles against this methodological domina
 tion from the marginalized communities. I argue that the dominant form sho
 uld be marked as Colonial-Brahmanical as caste was central to the new form
  of knowledge production. The marginalized communities did resist this dom
 inant form which can be categorized as artisanal ways of knowing. The pape
 r further propose that the artisanal model could significantly contribute 
 to the contemporary debates of decolonizing\, which is also de-Brahmanisin
 g in the Indian context\, knowledge production.\n\nSunandan K N is an Asso
 ciate Professor at School of Arts and Sciences\, Azim Premji University\, 
 Bangalore. His research interests include history and Sociology of Knowled
 ge production\, relationship between caste and technology in India and ent
 anglement of science and colonialism. His book “Caste\, Knowledge\, Powe
 r: Ways of Knowing in 20th Century Malabar” explores the emergence of ne
 w forms of knowledge in Malabar during the long twentieth century and mark
 s its form of power as “colonial-Brahmanical”. His current research ex
 plores how genetics has become the new domain of science where social cate
 gories such as race and caste and their power relations are naturalised th
 rough population genetics.
