Download or read book Modern Indian Political Thought written by Bidyut Chakrabarty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an unconventional articulation of the political thinking in India in a refreshingly creative manner in more than one way. Empirically, the book becomes innovative by providing an analytically more grasping contextual interpretation of Indian political thought that evolved during the nationalist struggle against colonialism. Insightfully, it attempts to unearth the hitherto unexplored yet vital subaltern strands of political thinking in India as manifested through the mode of numerous significant socio-economic movements operating side by side and sometimes as part of the mainstream nationalist movement. This book articulates the main currents of Indian political thought by locating the text and themes of the thinkers within the socio-economic and politico-cultural contexts in which such ideas were conceptualised and articulated. The book also tries to analytically grasp the influences of the various British constitutional devices that appeared as the responses of the colonial government to redress the genuine socio-economic grievances of the various sections of Indian society. The book breaks new ground in not only articulating the main currents of Indian political thought in an analytically more sound approach of context-driven discussion but also provokes new research in the field by charting a new course in grasping and articulating the political thought in India. This volume will be useful to the students, researchers and faculty working in the fields of political science, political sociology, political economy and post-colonial contemporary Indian politics in particular. It will also be an invaluable and interesting reading for those interested in South Asian studies.

Download or read book Shaw Abroad written by Rodelle Weintraub and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to providing much fascinating new material about Bernard Shaw, this volume covers so much of his active life--from 1889, before his first play was completed, through his world travels of the 1930s that it comes close to being a biography of the public Shaw as well as a probing look at the private Shaw. Shaw's first travels were to Bayreuth as a Wagner pilgrim and to Holland and Belgium for their art and theater. Italy was next, and the result was Shaw's self-styled "Pre-Raphaelite" play, Candida. Shaw visited Sweden and met the irascible Strindberg, whose notorious plays he admired, and returned many times to Ireland--"John Bull's Other Island"--as tourist and self-exile. Crossings to France--a nation he disliked with Anglophilic intensity--led to Saint Joan and The Six of Calais, while visits to Italy in his sixties and seventies are seen here, in a remarkable exploration certain to stir controversy, as a last surging of Shaw's banked amorous fires, with repercussions in the later plays. In his later travels Shaw became enmeshed in other countries' politics, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unawares; he was a political myopic in Russia, a pawn in Yugoslavia, a gadfly in Japan as well as in Hong Kong and China, and a prophet in South Africa, where he wrote The Black Girl in Search of God. Voyages to India and New Zealand led to his mystical and misunderstood The Simpleton of the Unexpected Isles. In the United States he spoke from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, hobnobbed with cinema stars in Hollywood, and admired--if nothing else in America--the Grand Canyon. Included is a little-known article by G.B.S. on how to cross Switzerland speedily by auto without being picked up by the police, and a typically cantankerous pair of interviews on visiting the Holy Land.

Download or read book Lines of the Nation written by Laura Bear and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lines of the Nation radically recasts the history of the Indian railways, which have long been regarded as vectors of modernity and economic prosperity. From the design of carriages to the architecture of stations, employment hierarchies, and the construction of employee housing, Laura Bear explores the new public spaces and social relationships created by the railway bureaucracy. She then traces their influence on the formation of contemporary Indian nationalism, personal sentiments, and popular memory. Her probing study challenges entrenched beliefs concerning the institutions of modernity and capitalism by showing that these rework older idioms of social distinction and are legitimized by forms of intimate, affective politics. Drawing on historical and ethnographic research in the company town at Kharagpur and at the Eastern Railway headquarters in Kolkata (Calcutta), Bear focuses on how political and domestic practices among workers became entangled with the moralities and archival technologies of the railway bureaucracy and illuminates the impact of this history today. The bureaucracy has played a pivotal role in the creation of idioms of family history, kinship, and ethics, and its special categorization of Anglo-Indian workers still resonates. Anglo-Indians were formed as a separate railway caste by Raj-era racial employment and housing policies, and other railway workers continue to see them as remnants of the colonial past and as a polluting influence. The experiences of Anglo-Indians, who are at the core of the ethnography, reveal the consequences of attempts to make political communities legitimate in family lines and sentiments. Their situation also compels us to rethink the importance of documentary practices and nationalism to all family histories and senses of relatedness. This interdisciplinary anthropological history throws new light not only on the imperial and national past of South Asia but also on the moral life of present technologies and economic institutions.

This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a decade-1947 to 1957-that made and unmade India The first decade after India's independence, 1947-1957, was probably the most crucial in the nation's history. Opening a window to this period, this book weaves a story out of the complex ideas and events that have largely remained beneath the surface of public discourse. The transfer of power, the framing of the Constitution and the formation of the governance machinery; the clash of ideas and ideologies among parties and personalities; the beginning of the disintegration of the Congress and the consolidation of political forces in the opposition; Nehru's grappling with existential problems at home and his quest for global peace; the interplay between democratic ideals and ruthless power play-all these factors impinged on each other and shaped the new republic in its formative decade. Thought-provoking, argumentative and unputdownable, 1947-1957, India: The Birth of a Republic is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian political history.
