India That is Bharat

"In 'India, That Is Bharat,' the inaugural volume of a compelling trilogy, the author delves into the intricate influence of European 'colonial consciousness,' also known as 'coloniality,' on Bharat—the successor state to the Indic civilization. Focusing on the religious and racial roots of this phenomenon, the book meticulously examines the origins of the Indian Constitution against the backdrop of the Age of Discovery, initiated by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the subsequent reshaping of Bharat through the Government of India Act of 1919.

This comprehensive work lays the groundwork for its sequels by exploring international developments, such as the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers, which significantly impacted Bharat's journey. The narrative also traces the roots of universally recognized concepts like 'toleration,' 'secularism,' and 'humanism' back to Christian political theology. It critically analyzes their role in undermining the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularized and universalized Reformation, namely constitutionalism.

Moreover, the book introduces the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, aligning with its European counterpart in the Bharatiya context to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. Proposing 'decoloniality' as a civilizational imperative, the author advocates for the liberation of Bharat's distinctive indigeneity across various spheres—nature, religion, culture, history, education, language, and notably, in the realm of constitutionalism. 'India, That Is Bharat' serves as an enlightening exploration of the complex historical forces that have shaped Bharat's identity and the urgent call for decolonial action in multiple facets of its existence."
