Radical Democracy in Modern Indian Political Thought
Author: Tejas Parasher
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009305581
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Between the 1910s and the 1970s, an eclectic group of Indian thinkers, constitutional reformers, and political activists articulated a theory of robustly democratic, participatory popular sovereignty. Taking parliamentary government and the modern nation-state to be prone to corruption, these thinkers advocated for ambitious federalist projects of popular government as alternatives to liberal, representative democracy. Radical Democracy in Modern Indian Political Thought is the first study of this counter-tradition of democratic politics in South Asia. Examining well-known historical figures such as Dadabhai Naoroji, M. K. Gandhi, and M. N. Roy alongside long-neglected thinkers from the Indian socialist movement, Tejas Parasher illuminates the diversity of political futures imagined at the end of the British Empire in South Asia. This book reframes the history of twentieth-century anti-colonialism in novel terms – as a contest over the nature of modern political representation – and pushes readers to rethink accepted understandings of democracy today.

Pages : 178
Book Description
Excerpt from Considerations on Some Aspects of Ancient Indian Polity: Sir Subrahmanaya Aiyar Lecture, 1914 A second accidental circumstance restricting inter polation must have been furnished by the growing unintelligibility of the meaning of the Arthasutra. This may perhaps be due to the circumstance that, as pointed out by Professor Rhys Davids, in a similar case, in the pre face to his translation of the Dialogues of the Buddha, page xxi, asutra book was not intended to be read. It was intended to help the students to follow their Master's lectures and to memorize what had been taught. The sutras of Kautilya are often, and naturally, fuller than the other sutras. But for such fulness, they would have rapidly become completely unintelligible, especially as from their nature, the meaning of the Arthasutras must have been kept within a close circle. While no one is interested in keeping an aphoristic work on grammar, or philosophy, or religion or even law as a mystery, powerful interests become desirous of maintaining the inviolable secrecy of the interpretation of such important - one may almost say dangerous - works as the Arthasutras.
