Indian Political Thought

How was the Indian nation conceived out of a diverse society of conflicting castes and religions which was under British occupation? What was its supposed destiny? Why did the country have to be partitioned? Is India on the path its founding fathers envisaged for it? This book invites you to explore such questions and reflect on them.

Uniquely this book brings out the religious heritage of Indian political thought. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, whom we have on the cover page, can be seen as the manifestation of ancient India’s wisdom that appeared at the right time and right place – for enabling the educated Hindus to think of their past in more confident ways.
