In this work, the author tries to creatively engage with the works
of Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Gandhi to comprehend thereby the
redefinition and reconstruction of the idea of freedom in India.
Kumar suggests that modern Indian thought contains resources for
thinking about "inclusive freedom"- a conception of freedom that he
distinguishes from conventional western theoretical articulations
of negative and positive freedom, and from views that tend to
classify Indian notions of freedom as 'other-worldly' in their
orientation. Based on these propositions, the author further claims
that the understanding of self, society and freedom as developed in
the work of Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Gandhi can at a larger level
provide a categorical response to the challenge posed by colonial
modernity, thereby creating a kind of 'alternative modernity'.
