This volume presents Aurobindo Ghose as a political thinker. It
examines his social and political contributions as one of the first
nationalist thinkers who conceptualized nationalism in the prism of
social priorities, espousing universal humanism. This book
discusses in-depth his design of nationalism which was not just
politically imbued but was also socially directional. It explores
why Sri Aurobindo’s felt social reform was critical to India’s
political emancipation, his arguments for non-cooperation and
passive resistance as political mechanism, and advocacy for
complete political Independence for India. Positing political
preferences and social priorities as dialectically construed,
Aurobindo’s politics was inclusive of the many sections of Indian
society as he was opposed segregation around the axes of caste and
religion. Further, the book also analyses how he carved a new
narrative for India’s nationalist campaign centered around
collective universal wellbeing, anticipating key ideas also offered
by Tagore and Gandhi. An invigorating read on a key socio-political
figure in India’s modern history, this volume will be of great
interest to history, politics, and South Asian studies.
