Explore the complex relationship between theory and experience in Indian social sciences with ‘The Cracked Mirror: An Indian Debate on Experience and Theory’. This insightful book by Gopal Guru and Sundar Sarukkai challenges Western intellectual traditions that often prioritize abstract ideas over lived realities. Focusing on the persistent issue of untouchability and Dalit life, the authors offer a powerful critique and advocate for developing new theoretical frameworks grounded in authentic Indian social experiences. Discover the politics of experience, understand the ethical considerations of representation, and delve into alternative ways of theorizing that resonate with the complexities of contemporary India. A must-read for scholars and anyone interested in Indian sociology and philosophy.
