Postcolonialism and Political Theory
Postcolonialism and Political Theory explores the intersection between the political and the postcolonial through an engagement with, critique of, and challenge to some of the prevalent, restrictive tenets and frameworks of Western political and social thought. It is a response to the call by postcolonial studies, as well as to the urgent need within world politics, to turn towards a multiplicity--largely excluded from globally dominant discourses of community, subjectivity, power and prosperity--constituted by otherness, radical alterity, or subordination to the newly reconsolidated West. The book offers a diverse range of essays that re-examine and open the boundaries of political and cult...
Ashis Nandy Chintane
...ಅಶೀಶ್ ನಂದಿಯವರದು ಆರಾಮ ಕುರ್ಚಿಯ ಚಿಂತನೆ ಅಲ್ಲ; ಬದಲು, ಸಿದ್ಧ-ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತಗಳೆಂಬ ಆರಾಮ ಕುರ್ಚಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒರಗಿದವರನ್ನು ಹೌಹಾರಿಸಿ ಬೀಳಿಸುವ ಚಿಂತನೆ. ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ, ನಂದಿ ಅವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ಸೆಕ್ಯುಲರಿಸಮ್ ಮತ್ತು ಕೋಮುವಾದಗಳು ಇವತ್ತು ಜನಪ್ರಿಯ ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಹೊಡೆದಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಶತ್ರುಗಳಂತೆ ಬಿಂಬಿತವಾಗ...
Psychology in India
This volume presents the life and work of 62 prominent Indian psychologists with each chapter illustrating their life and work. The nature and framework of each chapter is uniform, encompassing a brief biography, of the psychologists, their affiliations with various institutions and most prominently, their contributions to the field of psychology. The major highlight of the book is the collection of work of Indian scholars recorded in the form of research articles, book chapters and books, some of which were even used to develop models by Western scholars, but never received their due credit. The research activities conducted at universities and institutions have been the backbone of scienti...
Gujarat Beyond Gandhi
The birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and the land that produced Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, Gujarat has been at the centre-stage of South Asia’s political iconography for more than a century. As Gujarat, created as a separate state in 1960, celebrates its golden jubilee this collection of essays critically explores the many paradoxes and complexities of modernity and politics in the state. The contributors provide much-needed insights into the dominant impulses of identity formation, cultural change, political mobilisation, religious movements and modes of communication that define modern Gujarat. This book touches upon a fascinating range of topics – the identity debates a...
Inside Australian Culture
“Inside Australian Culture: Legacies of Enlightenment Values” offers a critical intervention in the continuing effects of colonization in Australia and the structures it brought, which still inform and dominate its public culture. Through a careful analysis of three disparate but significant moments in Australian history, the authors investigate the way the British Enlightenment continues to dominate contemporary Australian thinking and values. Employing the lens of Indian cultural theorist Ashis Nandy, the authors argue for an Australian public culture that is profoundly conscious of its assumptions, history and limitations.
The Geography of Nostalgia
We are familiar with the importance of 'progress' and 'change'. But what about loss? Across the world, from Beijing to Birmingham, people are talking about loss: about the loss that occurs when populations try to make new lives in new lands as well as the loss of traditions, languages and landscapes. The Geography of Nostalgia is the first study of loss as a global and local phenomenon, something that occurs on many different scales and which connects many different people. The Geography of Nostalgia explores nostalgia as a child of modernity but also as a force that exceeds and challenges modernity. The book begins at a global level, addressing the place of nostalgia within both global capi...
Breakfast with Evil and Other Risky Ventures

As Nandy himself writes in his Prologue, it is an attempt to scan his scattered lectures, interviews and writings, including essays, columns and papers for newspapers and journals, through his entire life till now.

His intellectual practices span across countries, continents, languages, systems of knowledge andforms of silence.
Time Warps
Discusses how the large amorphous and impersonal Indian state has affected the everyday lives of its citizens since Independence was won in 1947.
Ashis Nandy
This volume is an adda of great minds, spanning generations and multiple nationalities. While one discusses creativity and aesthetics through Indian classical music, another recounts the pleasure of a simple walk. Another questions how it would be if Rabindranath Tagore lived in the twenty-first century; yet another, how ‘cool’ Indians are or might be in the future. Subjects as far apart as war and solitude find space in these musings. Through these lively engagements emerge key insights into the ideas, writings, and life of one of the foremost intellectuals of our time in Indian and global scholarship, thought, and dissent—Ashis Nandy.
Return from Exile
This volume brings together three significant works of Ashis Nandy - Alternative Sciences, The Illegitimacy of Nationalism, and The Savage Freud. It is essential reading for social and political scientists, and all those interested in the complexities of Indian politics and culture.
