“Knowledge Production, Pedagogy, and Institutions in Colonial India, edited by Sengupta and Ali, belongs to a body of literature that attempts to provide scholarly understandings of colonial societies and imperial history through the lens of colonial knowledge. … Knowledge Production, Pedagogy, and Institutions in Colonial India makes for a compelling reading for imperial historians, anthropologists, literary scholars, scholars of gender, and other scholars and students for whom the Saidian analytical framework has a special appeal.” (Nasir M. Baba, Alberta Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 61 (1), Spring, 2015)

"This is a very timely collection. The issue of colonial knowledge has been at the forefront of the study of South Asia for more than a decade. However, the paradigms originally informing it have become increasingly frayed, and the debates surrounding it ever more tired. This book offers to re-invigorate the issues and to take inquiries in more profitable directions." - David Washbrook, Fellow, History, Trinity College, Cambridge
