Our Book of the Month for September 2021 is "India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilization, Constitution" by J Sai Deepak!




Check out this important book to learn how India is currently decolonizing itself and let us know what you think!



From the book publisher:


India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey.


Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as 'toleration', 'secularism' and 'humanism' to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharat's distinctive indigeneity, 'decoloniality' is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.

Book of the month discussions are always fun because everyone notices different things in the same story. I once used an assignment writing service during exam season just so I could still keep up with my reading habit. The excitement in this post made the community feel very welcoming. Nice Post. Your Post make me smile.

The book of the month article was interesting because it encourages reading habits. I once picked a random book from the library and really enjoyed it. I also came across chemistry exam help while browsing study topics online. It made me realize reading and studying both build knowledge step by step.

This book offers a deep dive into India’s historical transformation, but for readers seeking personal resilience and introspection, a best divorce memoir can provide an equally powerful perspective on overcoming life-altering challenges. Stories of struggle and renewal, much like historical narratives, inspire reflection, growth, and understanding, showing how both personal and national journeys shape identity and purpose.
