  • MPSE-004 Social and Political Thoughts
    MPSE-004 Social and Political Thoughts POLITICAL THOUGHT INDIA: THE DIVERSE STRANDS Structure 1.1 Jntroductioti 1.2 State and Sovereignty in Ancient India 1.3 State and Sovereignty in Medieval India 1.4 Religion and Polity l .S Summary 1.6 Exercises 1 .I INTRODUCTION To understand ~nodcrnIndian political thought, it is essential to have a broad view of the historical processes through which the modern polity has emerged. We have civilisation which is comparable with the Grcek civilisation and as Plato and Aristotle are considered as the pionecrs of westcrn political tradition, so are our ancient and medicval texts on statecraft. Whether it is tlie concept of monarchy, republicanism, council of ~ninisters,welfare state, diplomacy, espionage syste~nor any other political concept/inslitutio11isitutioi which is known in 111odet-npolitical parlance, all tliese Iiave refercnces in our early political traditions. Stale, society and governance are interlinked to each other. If we look at our past we will find that there was a rime when people used to live in small groups based on kinship ties and there was no need felt for a11 authority to coiltroi people's life. But with the growth of population atid claslics between groups of people, the need was felt for an authority wlio would provide the rcquired protection to his people and whose order would be obeyed by all. With the coming of groups of peoplc together, society came into existeilce which was followed by the emergence of state aiid the art of governance. So in a way we can say that individual nceds led to tlie c~licrgc~~ceof society and it is the collective need of the society which in turn led to tlic forn~ulationof various structures and theories related to state and governance.

  • Unit 9 Gandhi's Critique of Modern Civilisation
    UNIT 9 GANDHI’S CRITIQUE OF MODERN CIVILISATION Structure 9.1 Introduction Aims and Objectives 9.2 Gandhi’s Idea of Civilisation 9.3 Modern Civilisation and Loss of India’s Freedom 9.4 Modern Civilisation: Bane for India 9.5 Khadi as Critique of Modern Civilisation 9.6 Education as Critique of Modernity 9.7 Nation State and Modern Industrialisation 9.8 Summary 9.9 Terminal Questions Suggested Readings 9.1 INTRODUCTION All of you, who have seen Gandhi, in pictures obviously, agree that in his dress and appearance he belonged to the Indian ascetic tradition. As a mass leader and iron hearted campaigner against the British imperialism, he consciously chose such an image. His philosophy too contained symbols and words which were, in look and meaning, essentially Eastern in general and Hindu in particular. He used these words and symbols as weapons not only against the British colonisers, but also against the modern civilisation they represented, and in a sense, against modernity itself. Khadi, about which we will discuss more in the course of this chapter has been one such symbol and Ram Rajya, Sanatan Dharma, Satyagraha, Swaraj are some more in the long list. In a sense most of the words and symbols Gandhi invented and used in his long political and philosophical struggle against the British and the Western materialism were symbols of Indian tradition on the one hand and a critique of modern Western civilisation on the other. These words and symbols have more than one meaning. They also present multiple messages and the most important among them was a critique of modernity.
