Description
A Dharmic Social History of India presents a unique perspective on Indian civilization by examining how dharmic philosophy has fundamentally influenced social structures, cultural practices, and historical developments. Rather than viewing Indian history through purely Western analytical frameworks, this work centers dharmic principles as the organizing force behind Indian society’s evolution.
Aravindan Neelakandan traces the interconnections between dharmic concepts and major social institutions, movements, and transformations throughout Indian history. The book explores how dharma has been interpreted and applied across different periods, regions, and communities, demonstrating its enduring relevance to understanding India’s complex social fabric. This work contributes significantly to postcolonial historiography and offers readers a deeper, more culturally-grounded understanding of Indian civilization.
