This book offers a new concept of inclusion of the marginalised in
India - the Broad-basing Process. The author examines how through
this process increasing numbers of marginalised social groups can
enter into the social, political and economic mainstream and
progressively derive the same advantages from society as the groups
already part of it. The book critically reviews how the
broad-basing process has worked in the past in India both before
and after its independence. It examines how social groups like
Dalits, OBCs, Muslims, women and the labour class have fared, and
how far economic development, urbanisation, infrastructure
development and the digital revolution have helped the marginalised
and promoted broad-basing. It also offers mechanisms to speed up
broad-basing in poorer economies. A first of its kind, this volume
will be useful for scholars and researchers of political studies,
sociology, exclusion studies, political economy and also for
general readers.
What is the Bhagavad-Gita? Is it just a religious text? When was it
composed? How relevant is it to the modern world? This book answers
these foundational questions and more. It critically examines the
Bhagavad-Gita in terms of its liberal, humanist and inclusive
appeal, bringing out its significance for both present times and
novel applications. The author elaborates the philosophy underlying
the text as well as its ethical and spiritual implications. He also
responds to criticisms that have been levelled against the text by
Ambedkar, D. D. Kosambi and, more recently, Amartya Sen. With
additional material including chapter summaries of the
Bhagavad-Gita, the second edition of the volume proposes new ways
of utilising the text in diverse fields, such as business and
management and scientific research. Eclectic and accessible, this
work will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, religion,
history, business and management studies, as well as the general
reader.

This book provides a vantage point of comparison, of the actual
reality of decentralisation in India with Gandhi's vision of
decentralised democracy, or what he referred to as Gram Swaraj. It
looks at the historical evolution of panchayats from ancient times
to India's independence, and critically discusses the developments
after. It examines the functioning of the present Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRIs) and the performances of urban local bodies. The
basic thrust of this work is the need for constitutional reforms
meant to strengthen and deepen democracy. The book will be useful
to those in political studies, policy studies, public
administration and development studies.
