India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular 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. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

For one, the author's focus is narrow.
- He assumes that a country is like a balance sheet, a static frame. This is incorrect because a country, a nation, flows.
- He assumes that only Hindus make up India (Bharat). He ignores the contributions of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, and Sikhs. This is narrow.
The use of the word "Bharat" is artificial. Even the Chinese refer to their country as "China" when they speak English and "Zhong Guo" when they speak Chinese.
The author throws a lot of facts at you and fills the book with quotations.
There is a lot of data but no wisdom.
There is a lot of cleverness but no insight.
Read the book only for the quotations and for nothing else.
The writing is turgid and self-important. There is no logical flow in the narrative. (
