Résumé anglais Michel Foucault in this Post-Colonial Time In our time of globalisation and post-colonial existence what do the writings of Michel Foucault represent for us ? The article discusses the reception of Foucault in India. It shows how new research in the areas of law and extra-legal powers, into the nature of sovereignty and exceptions, combines Foucault's ideas in a creative way, with a non-conformity and radicalism that post-colonial society is generating now. We cannot help remembering that this is not the first time that existing social inquiries about the body and about the physical aspects of our political life have taken on an interesting new turn. This is nothing new. The entire tradition can be described by way of Lenin's phrase, “militant materialism”.
