India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution
by
by
A society which looks at its culture and traditions through the eyes of colonizers is doomed for eternity.
Till the day we see our morality through the eyes of colonizers we will always end up seeing our self as savages, brutes and uncivilized.
Till the day our culture and traditions are scrutinized by the yardsticks set by colonizers we will always end up in self-loathing and self-flagellation
Till the day our judiciary relies on the definitions set by colonizers to define us, our society and our civilization we can never hope for a fair judgement.
Till the day we, as an individual, stop using the colonizers morality test to judge our society or using their outlook to understand our history or try to achieve the modernity as defined by our colonizers, we will remain colonized.
A great read to understand the impact of British coloniality on our civilization, our country, our constitution, our politics, judiciary, policing, our consciousness and on our society as a whole. This book takes readers through the concept of decoloniality which seems to be the only option left with our civilization to survive the assault of coloniality which has been deeply imbibed in our consciousness.
