Themes and Perspectives
«
"A well organised textbook on Indian Political Thought, written by reputed writers. It would be of immense help for students and civil services aspirants".
Prakash Chandra Sarangi, Former Vice-Chancellor, Ravenshaw University & Former Professor of Political Science, University of Hyderabad, India
"A long-awaited, timely and useful contribution for a very wide variety of audience".
Upendra Choudhury, Professor, Department of Political Science, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh & Former Member Secretary and Director, Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi, India
"Revisiting Modern Indian Thought is an important contribution to the field of Indian Political Thought. It attempts to cover major thinkers of modern India. The work of Suratha Kumar Malik and Ankit Tomar will be immensely helpful to students, researchers and teachers as it has widely covered the revised curricula (syllabi) of different Indian universities".
Shri Prakash Singh, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Delhi, New Delhi, India
"Malik and Tomar have accomplished a truly academically rewarding endeavour by bringing together these brilliantly written essays about the political ideas of some of the greatest thinkers of modern India. A must-read for all those who may be interested in making sense of the idea of India".
Ashutosh Kumar, Lala Lajpat Rai Chair Professor of Political Science, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India
"This edited volume is a commendable attempt to bring out a compendium not only to providing an overview of the major political thinkers of modern India but also proclaiming to revisit the liberal-reformist, Gandhian and socialist traditions of modern Indian thought. It is undoubtedly a readable and appreciable book of its kind".
Sanjeev Kumar Sharma, Vice-Chancellor, Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Motihari (Bihar) & General Secretary and Treasurer, Indian Political Science Association (IPSA), India
