                    Saeed Urrehman Sahib,

          "History is written by the victorious" ,I still agree with the cliché,
 I used ,way back, in some TV play ,for my lesser dramatic purposes.
Thanks for the compliments.But when it comes down to writing;History
or any other discourse,there could be no end to re-writing,even in
non-Derridean senses.The Victor is one and the vanquished are many
and so are the re-writings.Out of this multiplicity of 'hybridities',and fragmentary
bits of consciousness,perhaps some bigger hybridity could evolve
(the 'other 'of globalization!) which could redefine the 'conditions of
knowledge production'.Sophisticated enough?
