This paper offers homage to the work and thought of Derrida from elsewhere. Focusing on the thematic of inheritance, the paper, while exploring Derrida's own 'inheritances', outlines the predicament of postcolonial inheritances. While critiquing Europeanized passages to the postcolonial pasts, this paper insists on other possible openings to the past (in the Indian--especially, Sanskrit--context). While drawing on Derrida's work in dealing with the question of inheritance in the complicitous disciplinary-institutional context of the university, this paper indicates the limits of Derrida's work in responding to cultural singularities of memory.
