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 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 the 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 conceptualized
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 the Indian political thought in analytically more
sound approach of context-driven discussion but also provokes new
research in the field by chartering 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
field 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.

Indian politics and unearths significant sociopolitical and
economic processes which are critical to the political articulation

system, local and state governance. Apart from analyzing corruption
and public grievance systems, the volume also probes into
significant issues in Indian politics. This book will be useful to
the students, researchers and faculty working in the field of
political science, public administration, 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.
