What is modernism? The most outstanding answer surfaces Reason, then what is Reason?The

reverberates the mind-a person or group which follows certain norms of civilization .And then
Civilization?-A consensus of a majority group at a certain point of
an act or behavior of a group or person who/which has

for certain perspective. If it is

upon to follow a code, at a certain point

of time with a certain motif in mind; it is naturally an outcome of affect, because affect is contagious. If
modernism has an indicator like affect, then why come appears an artificial dichotomy between affect
and modernity .We can stretch the definition of modernity up to an extent where the relics of
romanticism also play with the reason, and it becomes

blend of emotion and reason. Reason-we can

draw, is only a surface reality .It is an imaginary membrane which needs to be broken for innovation
.Modernism has emerged from the intellectual class, who in the perspective of a binary logic has

condemned the models of non-intellectuals, and the non-followers of a set pattern in the act of an
intellectual gymnastic, and have imposed their values

those who are culturally and intellectually less

privileged. Here modernity has trampled the emotions of less modern or not modern, and their
affects get a new direction silence; be it positive by making it stronger ,or negative-by just nipping it
in the bud. When a commoner moves forward to the intellectual citadels of the modernist tradition i.e.
the established reason of the day ,which, let us say, the artifacts of supremacy, that ignores it out,
prima facie, taking it as other(of the postmodernist connotations). It all happened with the Dalit class
in India.
