About This Book

The book traces a long historical journey beginning with the Age of Discovery and continuing through the period of European expansion and British rule in India. It examines how developments in European political thought, religious history, and colonial institutions influenced the transformation of Bharat and the evolution of its constitutional framework.

J. Sai Deepak discusses concepts including coloniality, decoloniality, constitutionalism, secularism, toleration, and humanism, examining their historical development and presenting his interpretation of their relationship with Christian political theology and colonial rule.

The discussion also considers the interaction between indigenous Indic traditions and institutions introduced or shaped during colonial rule. The book raises broader questions about culture, religion, history, education, language, governance, and constitutional identity, laying the foundation for the author's wider argument about decoloniality and civilizational identity.
