“…Colonial discourse is a kind of "cognitive violence" (Qin, 2018), and it has been perceived as beginning with European colonialism. However, I think it existed in Hinduism in the form of caste stratification, where Dalits occupied the lowest position in the socio-cultural hierarchy.…”

“…'The Culture Industry', and globalisation of 'mass culture' functions as 'social control' leading towards fetishisation to the point of homogeneity in various spheres of life, ranging from education to entertainment, and subordinating real differences, to foundational modernist ideals of inherent sameness, and thus carry out cognitive violence in the process. The subjection to Western hegemony and the continuity of cognitive violence has been pointed out in various processes and entities such as international relations (Hamati-Ataya, 2011), philosophy (Elberfeld et al, 2019), language (Qin, 2018), curriculum (Adzahlie-Mensah & Dunne, 2018), contemporary international legal order (Aalberts, 2018), political institutions (Lushetich, 2020) and education systems (Battiste, 2010).

This article explains the intricate relationship between violence and health, aiming to transcend the conventional and restricted perspectives through which violence is typically perceived and conceptualized. The limitation regarding the conceptualisation of violence, by researchers, when the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is taken into consideration, leads us to think that those researching violence and health are limited to the WHO definition and conceptualisation of violence due to various historical processes of knowledge production and flows, which leads to a ‘violence of closure’. I follow a reflexive approach and identify several types of violence from which I focus on cognitive violence, epistemic violence, ontological violence, and neoliberal violence. Understanding of violence needs to acknowledge that multiple forms of violence overlap entangle and intersect in a rhizomatic manner. Only sticking to the WHO definition of violence leads to a condition that creates a condition of ‘violence of closure’ that neglects various systemic and structural processes through which violence is experienced at the individual micro-level.
