What is colonialism - while the term colonialism predominantly denotes a situation wherein a dominant individual, group or nation conquers and annexes real estate in a form of land, aquatic space and even air space, less attention gets to be invested on how the actual practice of colonization begins with an anthropocentric inclination to study, master and exploit. As such conventional discourses on the subject of colonization and coloniality hardly focuses on inquisitorial scientific practices as an expression of a colonial inclination that is peculiar to all human beings, albeit for historical reasons more developed amongst different cultural groups. In this presentation I will attempt to show that one of the underlying aspects of the contemporary discourse involving the coloniality-decoloniality dichotomy is the fact that at the core of the arguments expounded by those who are calling for decoloniality is an understanding that apart from the fact that the root cause of coloniality is modernity, and modern epistemological frameworks in particular, coloniality also encompasses a myriad of inquisitorial human activities that results in mastery and exploitation of the objects of human inquisitiveness. This exploitatively skewed relationship, in favor of the inquisitive self of course, is the main driving force behind the modern self's relationship with all of alterity, including components of the self which the self is able to perceive and interrogate. Last but not least, I will also show that, according to proponents of decoloniality, not even a phenomenon of religion is immune from the exploitative shenanigans of the modern self.
