Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this groundbreaking work, Gurpreet Mahajan draws upon critical debates and political practices to question how the concepts of freedom, equality and difference are layered with new meanings and how religion and state, critical reason and embedded self are understood in the Indian context. Part of Zed's World Political Theories series, this remarkable work that offers a glimpse of the social and political life of contemporary India, and how it differs from the dominant liberal paradigm. |
