Indian Political Theory (eBook, ePUB)

Laying the Groundwork for Svaraj

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book puts forward a workable contemporary ideal of svaraj that is "thin", i.e. political, and free of metaphysical commitment. The author demonstrates that svaraj has not yet been achieved in Indian political theory. He argues that political theorists of Indian politics continue to work with categories and concepts alien to the lived social and political experiences of India's 'common man', or everyday people. He emphasises the need to decolonize Indian political theory, and rescue it from the grip of western theories, and fascination with western modes of historical analysis.
