It sheds new light on the theoretical relationship between democratic legitimation and development.\" \u003cbr\u003e– Pratap Bhanu Mehta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn original reconstruction of how the debates over peoplehood defined Indian anticolonial thought, and a bold new framework for theorising the global career of democracy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndians, their former British rulers asserted, were unfit to rule themselves. Behind this assertion lay a foundational claim about the absence of peoplehood in India. The purported \"backwardness\" of Indians as a people led to a democratic legitimation of empire, justifying self-government at home and imperial rule in the colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn response, Indian anticolonial thinkers launched a searching critique of the modern ideal of peoplehood. \u003ci\u003eWaiting for the People\u003c\/i\u003e is the first account of Indian answers to the question of peoplehood in political theory. From Surendranath Banerjea and Radhakamal Mukerjee to Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, Indian political thinkers passionately explored the fraught theoretical space between sovereignty and government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn different ways, Indian anticolonial thinkers worked to address the developmental assumptions built into the modern problem of peoplehood, scrutinising contemporary European definitions of \"the people\" and the assumption that a unified peoplehood was a prerequisite for self-government. Nazmul Sultan demonstrates how the anticolonial reckoning with the ideal of popular sovereignty fostered novel insights into the globalisation of democracy and ultimately drove India's twentieth-century political transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWaiting for the People\u003c\/i\u003e excavates, at once, the alternative forms and trajectories proposed for India's path to popular sovereignty and the intellectual choices that laid the foundation for postcolonial democracy. In so doing, it uncovers largely unheralded Indian contributions to democratic theory at large. India's effort to reconfigure the relationship between popular sovereignty and self-government proves a key event in the global history of political thought, one from which a great deal remains to be learned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000838635756,"sku":"9780674290372","price":90.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1405603482428.jpg?v=1763309118"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/nazmul-sultan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
