British colonial rule in India, as elsewhere in the world, reconstituted categories of time and space through its administrative practices. This paper explores how a state temporality was introduced which in turn enabled a discourse of progress and history. Drawing upon the works of Foucault and recent postcolonial studies, it argues that the requirement of `normalized' colonial subjects as objects of colonial regulatory practices rendered history as a site of colonial mimicry
