Abstract: Martin Fredriksson’s article focuses on India’s Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) towards the protection of traditional knowledge (TK). Fredriksson has also connected the genesis and context of TKDL to various irrelevant aspects that include religion and politics. Fredriksson’s narration and inferences on TKDL are also drawn from a selection of referenced literature, with some of the cited text being subjective in nature. We object to certain contentious statements and inferences about TKDL and India made therein. We welcome the invitation from Third World Quarterly to provide our response to the article.
