This book evaluates the promise of human progress and secularism in
grand political narratives of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, comparing counter-narratives of South Asia within the
context of a fast-changing twenty-first century. The book embraces
a broad range of sources and theoretical approaches that include
political philosophy, film, and ideological discourse analysis. In
the twenty-first century, global inequality and significant growth
of religious and majoritarian nationalisms have been appended with
a protracted economic slowdown and recession in many countries.
Examining what went wrong in terms of secularism and distributive
justice in India, this book critiques the Euro-American visions of
democracy, global capitalism, and their so-called universality. As
an alternative, it proposes a progressive politics of radical
democracy for the Indian people. Reconsidering alternatives to
capitalism, western secularism and the radical possibilities of
Islamism, Political Theory and South Asian Counter-Narratives will
appeal to students and scholars of political theory, international
relations, global history, and South Asian politics.
