The world today takes Modernism as living standard i.e.; glamour prescribe the scope of your modernism, how modern you are is judged by your living standard, whereas the real modernism lies some where else…its an ideology only which makes a person modern not his/her living standard. For example Raja Ram Mohanroy to Mathama Gandhi they were not equipped with today’s exclusive technology neither they were handsomely dressed but they were the pioneer of modernism of their time in India, as was Tipu Sultan who invented missile system which became the main war weapon of modern world today, or Emperor Ashoka who gave the idea of non violence by remaining on the top position or Emperor Akbar who tried to start a new religion consisting of all faith under one umbrella without discrimination of caste color or creed and that is humanism, So will you call there greats as uncivilized or far from modernism……no a big no because they were modern and modernism lies in the ideology, the ideology which is for public good and good for their national interest by keeping humanism, liberty, equality and fraternity in mind.
