Political Ideas and the Making of a Democratic Discourse

By: Gurpreet Mahajan

In this groundbreaking work, Gurpreet Mahajan tackles the predisposition of political theory to be limited by the Western canon. Bringing into focus how concepts central to the modern democratic political imaginary are interpreted in India, this book elaborates the ways that ideas of freedom, equality and difference are layered with new meanings and how questions of religion and state, critical reason and embedded self are understood in the Indian context. Part of Zed’s World Political Theories series, this remarkable work offers a glimpse of the social and political life of contemporary India, and how it differs from the dominant liberal paradigm.

Explanation and Understanding in the Human Sciences

By: Gurpreet Mahajan

Social scientists explain events by identifying reasons and causes. Occasionally they weave a series of events into a historical narrative. What is entailed in each kind of explanation? What form of explanation is adequate for the social sciences? In this lucid book, Gurpreet Mahajan surveys each of the major forms of inquiry—hermeneutic understanding, narrative, reason-action, and causal explanation—to examine how each method changes our perceptions of social reality. The third edition includes a new Preface that discusses some recent shifts in the conceptualization of the social sciences.

The Multicultural Path

Issues of Diversity and Discrimination in Democracy

By: Gurpreet Mahajan

Exploring the reasons why multiculturalism has overtaken pluralism as the dominant concept, this book argues that it has brought the concern for equality in the public domain. Gurpreet Mahajan explores a variety of extant multicultural alternatives, particularly those with a commitment to reconcile cultural rights with individual freedom. She starts by elucidating the ideas that define multiculturalism, and then goes on to analyse the concept of differentiated citizenship within which claims for special rights for minorities and marginalised groups are justified. In the process, she highlights the problems presented by the multicultural analysis of cultural discrimination and diversity.

Religion, Community and Development

Changing Contours of Politics and Policy in India

By: Associate Professor Center for Political Studies Gurpreet Mahajan,Gurpreet Mahajan,Surinder S. Jodhka

By making religious community a relevant category for discussing development deficit, the Sachar Committee Report (that was submitted to the Prime Minister of India in 2007) initiated a new political discourse in India. While the liberal secular framework privileged the individual over the community and was more inclined to use the category of class rather than the identity of religion, the Sachar Committee differentiated citizens on the basis of their religious identity. Its conclusions reinforced the necessity of approaching issues of development through the optic of religious community. This volume focuses on this shift in public policy. The articles in this collection examine the nature and implications of this new approach to the Indian social reality. Taking a close look at the findings of the Sachar Committee Report (SCR) they highlight the challenges posed by inter-community comparisons. At another level the articles supplement the debate initiated by the SCR by constructing a profile of religious communities in India so as to factor in their concerns of development into the present discourse and to nuance and modify the simple indicators to which development is often reduced. As most religious communities are themselves engaged in development-related activities the volume also examines some of these initiatives in order to see what development connotes to the members themselves and what receives attention by the community. Students of social sciences and development studies as well as those dealing with issues of marginalization will find this collection an invaluable resource for understanding contemporary India and for undertaking further theoretical and empirical research.
