This essay strives to probe the trajectory of politics of knowledge in the context of India’s politics of development in two specific time periods—the colonial and the post-colonial. The chosen empirical case through which the inquiry will be undertaken is the case of cultivation of the indigo dye. The primary interrogation of this work stands as follows: can a case for epistemicide be made with regards to certain practices of development instantiated herein by the cultivation of the indigo dye in the time-periods cited above? If so, then how? Furthermore, the essay also seeks to understand the differences that exist in the way which the politics of epistemicide plays out in both these temporal contexts. Hence, if there are any differences, what would they be? Finally, how does such politics of knowledge implicate a developmental democracy like India? The methodology pursued is analytical and comparative
