  • Summary

  • The provided text comprises excerpts and reviews of J. Sai Deepak's book, India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution. The book, and the accompanying commentary, argues that India's consciousness remains profoundly shaped by coloniality, a concept explored through the lens of decolonial theory originating in Latin America. The authors discuss the enduring impact of European colonialism on Indian culture, politics, and law, particularly its religious and racial dimensions. They contend that true decolonisation requires a conscious rejection of Western-normative frameworks and a reclamation of India's indigenous traditions. The book analyses the influence of coloniality on India's constitution, advocating for a decolonised approach to constitutional interpretation.
