Descripció
Descripció de l’ítem:"India, that Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive Bharat trilogy, explores the influence of European "colonial consciousness" (or "coloniality"), particularly its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the age of discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey."--Front jacket folded flap.
