Institutions like the Asiatic Society of India, set up by the British in the eighteenth century, played an important role in generating knowledge about India. Unlike the traditional knowledge available in
 gurukuls, on palm-leaf manuscripts and other pre-printing forms, this new knowledge was modern and used modern technology. Several new educational institutions were established around this time, imparting modern knowledge with an aim to revive interest in India. More importantly, new institutions with new norms were defining how — from what perspective — India would be represented through the selected content. This new branch of knowledge, labelled Orientalism, later came under the careful scrutiny of postcolonial scholars like Edward Said who detected an underlying political agenda.
