Ashis Nandy and the Cultural Politics of Selfhood gives the reader an insight into a novel aspect of Nandy. The author insists that Ashis Nandy is not merely a self-described political psychologist; he is also an intellectual street fighter who comes face to face with the psychology of politics and the politics of psychology, thus affirming why this intellectual is one of the most original and confronting Indian thinkers of his generation. The main features of this book are its original reading and the authentic use of the psychoanalytic theory to characterise and demonstrate the importance of psychoanalysis in Nandy's work. This innovative reading of Nandy's psychoanalytic approach is explored through his writings on secularism and the rise of Hindu fundamentalism, before looking at how this also operates in The Intimate Enemy: Loss and Recovery of Self Under Colonialsim (1983) Nandy's best-known book, and across his work more broadly. In doing so the author details the way Nandy confronts his own postcolonial identity and the complexities of the cultural politics of selfhood as a feature of his approach, an arresting and confronting task that can have a disarming effect. It affirms Nandy's significance as a contemporary chronicler whose social and political criticism resonates beyond India.

In this volume of essays Ashis Nandy discusses several major issues and personalities of modern India - Rammohun Roy and sati, the social and cultural forces represented by Gandhi and his assassins; concepts of woman and womanhood; and Indira Gandhi and the culture of Indian politics. The author argues that reform movements and the role played by many of these personalities was the outcome, not only of social and economic pressures, but of the individual's own psychological make-up, desires, and insecurities.

The Postcolonial Politics of Ashis Nandy explores the work of India's leading public intellectual and political and cultural critics Ashis Nandy. Nandy has contributed extensively to social and political criticism for over forty years and to a range of academic and public debates in India and beyond, his significance as a thinker is widely applauded. Noted for his characteristic provocative approach, and critique of Indian political culture, particularly the rise of Hindu fundamentalism and an increasing authoritarian Indian State, his voice is distinctive and divides. Such a mixed reception to Nandy and his work affirms his significance as a contemporary postcolonial thinker whose fascinating impact, both in scholarly and in public debates, cannot be ignored. This ambiguity attached to his reception is also reflected in his ambivalent relationship to postcolonial scholarship, notably disciplinary 'postcolonial studies' and structures of knowledge more broadly. A product of Indian postcolonial culture and yet critical of disciplinary 'postcolonial studies,' Nandy has contributed extensively to postcolonial scholarship and debate, and in broadening our understanding of postcolonial politics. Although not always recognized as distinctively 'postcolonial' Nandy's work offers alternatives to more conventional definitions of both politics and postcolonial theory. This book begins at this juncture in characterizing Nandy's critique of 'postcolonial studies,' before proceeding to explore and detail key areas in Nandy's thinking that both mark him as one of the most important postcolonial voices and critics of his generation. Advancing an alternative conception of postcolonial theory and postcolonial politics in Nandy's work, this book contributes to a broadening of debates on postcolonial theory and politics and will be interest to students and scholars alike.

Nandy stresses the importance of considering the world views held by "non-modern" cultures in formulating a more humane and less technologically preoccupied vision of progress.

This book brings postcolonial critique directly to bear on established ways of theorizing international relations. Its primary concern is with the non-European world and its relations with the North. In advancing an alternative conception of "relations international", the book draws on alternative source material and different forms of writing. It also features short stories, an interview and explores the role of poetics and performance. The suzerainty of the disciplinary writ is challenged on three primary grounds. Firstly on its Eurocentrism, which leads the discipline to pass lightly over the distinctive life experiences of most of the world’s people. Secondly, on the discipline’s failure to engage in any systematic way with other bodies of knowledge about the international, as for example international political economy, postcolonialism and development. Lastly, it confronts the ‘top down’ nature of the politics of the discipline, and that seldom addresses everyday life. From squatter towns to the evasions of the poor, from law through to literature, this work raises a number of problems for International relations. It challenges a colonial mindset, de-centres the west and opens the field to new approaches that are far more inter-disciplinary than international relations generally allows. It is a provocative contribution for students and scholars of IR and Postcolonial studies alike.

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.

In The Gender Politics of Development Shirin Rai provides a comprehensive assessment of how gender politics has emerged and developed in post-colonial states. In chapters on key issues of nationalism and nation-building, the third wave of democratization and globalization and governance, Rai argues that the gendered way in which nationalist statebuilding occured created deep fissures and pressures for development. She goes on to show how women have engaged with institutions of governance in developing countries, looking in particular at political participation, deliberative democracy, representation, leadership and state feminism. Through this engagement, Rai claims, vital new political spaces have been created. Though Rai focuses in-depth on how these debates have played out in India, the book's argument is highly relevant for politics across the developing world. This is a unique and compelling synthesis of gender politics with ideas about development from an authoritative figure in the field.
