Description
India, Bharat And Pakistan
“India, Bharat and Pakistan” is a thought-provoking and enlightening sequel to the bestselling book, “India That Is Bharat.” In this second book of the Bharat Trilogy, the author delves deeper into the historical and cultural complexities that have shaped the Indian subcontinent.
The narrative picks up from the previous book and delves into the profound impact of European and Middle Eastern colonial influences on Bharat, which emerged as the successor state to the ancient Indic civilization. The book examines the rise of Islamic Revivalism in the 18th century after the decline of the Mughal Empire, a crucial period that laid the foundation for the idea of Pakistan. Through meticulous research, it traces the thought continuum of Middle Eastern coloniality and how it shaped the origins of the Indian Constitution.
The reader is taken on a historical journey through the Khilafat Movement, which played a pivotal role in solidifying the path to Pakistan. The book explores the collaboration between proponents of Middle Eastern coloniality and the British colonial establishment, which had far-reaching consequences for the Indic civilization.
Drawing parallels between the challenges faced by the Indic civilization during the tumultuous period from 1740 to 1924 and the present day, the book imparts valuable insights into the country’s historical trajectory. The larger goal of this book, like its predecessor, is to inspire a critical decolonial examination of Bharat’s history, particularly in the context of the Indian Constitution. By providing a sense of proportion, perspective, and purpose, the author seeks to encourage readers to approach the Constitution with a balanced and informed perspective.
“India, Bharat and Pakistan” is an engrossing exploration of India’s past, offering fresh perspectives on its historical narrative. It is a compelling invitation to revisit the nation’s rich heritage and provoke meaningful discourse on its journey towards self-awareness and emancipation.
