Description

Buy India That Is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution Second hand books, Authored by j sai deepak in hardcover binding from Used Book Store.

Explore the profound impact of European colonial consciousness, particularly its religious and racial underpinnings, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilization and the genesis of its Constitution. This foundational work of a comprehensive trilogy chronicles the era from the Age of Discovery, through key international developments like the establishment of the League of Nations, to the significant reshaping of Bharat via a British-crafted constitution. Delve into the origins of widely accepted concepts like toleration, secularism, and humanism, tracing their roots to Christian political theology and examining their role in a secularized reformation through constitutionalism, which ultimately subverted indigenous Indic consciousness. The book also introduces the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, revealing its historical precedence and its alliance with European colonialism in their mutual opposition to the Indic worldview. To truly liberate Bharat’s distinct indigeneity, the imperative of ‘decoloniality’ is presented across the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language, and most importantly, constitutionalism.
