Description:In the early days of modern political organisation of the subcontinent, in the mid nineteenth century, two distinct political destinies became discernible rather than one destiny, that tryst hailed by Nehru. These two political projects, from the very beginning, have been mutually incompatible, and they would have likely unfolded into two very different kinds of polity. One sought the continuation of caste-based organisation under the supremacy of the upper castes; the other imagined genuine independence in the form of an egalitarian society free of caste and gender discrimination. The former, which has now gained apparent ascendency through the promotion of Hindu nationalism, can be represented in the figure of the politician Bal Gangadhar Tilak. The latter is represented by an unparalleled genius of political thought and an indefatigable activist, Jotirao Phule, and all upper-caste platforms, including the Congress, have sought to suppress it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
