ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. The book explores the awareness of perspective, interest, and of location that reveals the background assumptions as well as the assumptions of background, within any given text or argument in political theory. It focuses on the transatlantic world and take up things anew from within India, and in line with all the chatter over the specificities of our concerns. The book presents a future-orientation reading of the Gandhian idea instead of the romantic-retrogressive. It also focuses on Bhargava's call for launching an authentic Indian political theory. The book then explores a workable contemporary ideal of Dalit svaraj that is thin – a model inspired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who finds his proper place at the very heart and soul of it. It expresses that Ambedkar holds the solution that contemporary political theorists require for overcoming this dilemma.
