          Abstract

          The invidious relationship between the colonizer and colonized is locked in a dialectical and reciprocal relationship. The history of colonization of non-European people by the Europeans reveals that the colonizer created a mythical representation of the colonized surrounding savagery, barbarity, uncouthness, and uncivilization to show themselves as civilized, noble, and refined. The intellectuals of the colonizing empire participated in the construction of this discourse, which essentially is racist. Francophone postcolonial thinkers like Aimé Césaire, Franz Fanon, and Albert Memmi have systematically unfolded the colonizer-colonized relationship. This chapter, beginning with their biographies, discusses their contentions to create a framework in which James Mill’s History of British India is critically evaluated in the subsequent two chapters.
