India, That Is Bharat by J. Sai Deepak | My Setu Shop

Description

India, That Is Bharat by J. Sai Deepak is a groundbreaking work that explores the deep-rooted influence of coloniality on India’s political, constitutional, cultural, and civilisational identity. As the first volume of an ambitious trilogy, the book traces the historical developments that shaped modern Bharat from the Age of Discovery in 1492 to the constitutional transformations introduced during British rule.

Drawing from history, law, theology, philosophy, and civilisational studies, the author examines how European colonial thought, Christian political theology, and imported intellectual frameworks influenced the understanding of concepts such as secularism, toleration, constitutionalism, and humanism in India.

The book also investigates the relationship between colonial consciousness and indigenous Indic traditions, presenting a compelling argument for the need to rediscover and reclaim Bharat’s unique civilisational identity. Through rigorous research and detailed analysis, J. Sai Deepak challenges conventional narratives and encourages readers to critically examine the foundations of modern India’s constitutional and cultural landscape.

An essential read for students of history, law, politics, constitutional studies, and Indian civilisation, India, That Is Bharat offers a fresh perspective on the past while raising important questions about the future of Bharat.
