TY - BOOK AU - Chakrabarty,Bidyut AU - Pandey,Rajendra Kumar TI - Modern Indian Political Thought: Text and Context [ electronic resource ] SN - 9788132108160 ( e-book ) PY - 2012/// PB - SAGE Publications India Pvt Ltd KW - South Asian Studies KW - Electronic books N2 - In contrast to the existing literature on the subject, this book carries a context-driven conceptualization of the major strands of political thought that emerged in India in the past two centuries. It focuses on India's peculiar socio-political processes under colonialism that influenced the evolution of such thoughts. The distinguishing feature of this book is its linking of the text of Indian political thought with the context. In doing so, it challenges the ethno-centric interpretation of nationalism that despite its roots in western Enlightenment, evolved differently because of the context in which it was articulated.
