India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution

Product Information

Cons: even though the author has provided good legal evidence to support his claims he unfortunately has a biased outlook towards them. He finally shows us how Protestant Christian values were universalied through international laws, the League of Nations and other such world bodies and how it affects everyone even today and especially Bharat as it is the only standing civilisation since the dawn of Christianity and Islam. Even this exertion had at its underpinning a universalized Western standard of civilization that deemed Indic EOT as mainly rooted in bias, prejudices and superstitions.

This book is an honest attempt at highlighting these colonial traits and raising awareness in this regard so that as Indians, we could contemplate how to truly contribute towards decolonising our nation. The religious wars popularly known as the Thirty Years’ War and the Peace of Westphalia which ended it engendered nation-states and postulated the twin ideals of a spiritual and temporal sphere. If you believe these stories should be told and those in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement remembered, join us! The concept of a nation-state, constitutionalism, modernity, secularism and the understanding of what is a civilisation are borrowed from the British and held in high esteem.Decoloniality was first coined in Latin America and was first proposed in the 1980's and is now spread to South America and most parts of Africa. Quite early in the book, Sai Deepak will have introduced you to the acronym OET, that expands as ontology epistemology theology. J. Sai Deepak is an engineer-turned-lawyer practicing as an arguing counsel before the Supreme Court of India. It is high time Bharat looks at itself and pushes its own indic view instead of following the template set forth by western nations. This, in turn, leads one to ask how the colonizer's mindset was formed, to begin with, and it is here that we were taken back to the voyages of Christopher Columbus in the 15th century.

Finally, just as the Bhagavad Gita has been the guiding light and continues to be so for a multitude of generations of Bharatiyas, this book is going to be a beacon of light for all of us on the Indic side and is but the first light and a ray of hope for all surviving Indic communities for a path towards complete decoloniality that will ultimately lead to the reflourishing of the Indic Civilisation across the sacred geography of Bharat and world over. If political and social turmoil trouble you, wear the book as glasses through which to see happenings, for understanding what’s at work. However, the Constitution cannot be static and the very fact that there have been 105 amendments of the Constitution since it was enacted in 1950 (including the very first amendment in 1951 itself) means the Constitution will grow and change along with the nation. Instead of decentralizing morality and allowing the society’s indigenous cultural moorings to inform law and policy, blind and unthinking constitutionalism has effectively contributed to the concentration of totalizing powers over morality and world view in the hands of unelected institutions and individuals.He seldom wastes a word, nor lacks the right one for his need, or deviates from the point in discussion. It is pretty rare for a book that can be classified as very erudite to be welcomed with such pomp and praise, primarily when the book in question addresses the esoteric space of decoloniality and its implication in the Bharatiya context. The author traces the origins of Eurocentrism to ‘the Age of Discovery/Exploration’ in the 15th century, when Christopher Columbus set out in 1492 to ‘discover’ the ‘New World’. These categorizations are however meaningless and we are better off looking at issues based on their own merit. Civil Commercial litigation, Constitutional law and Competition law are my primary areas of practice.
