From the Preface The present volume has grown out of the deliberations that emerged from a seminar organized by the University of Udaipur on the eve of Gandhi Centenary Celebrations. There is no denying the fact that scores of works have been published bringing out the varied ramifications and dimensions of Gandhian thought and ideology. Much of what has been said and written about Mahatma Gandhi is about his devotion and sincerity to serve the mankind. But his portrait as an architect of ideology and his craftsmanship as a thinker remains still to be reinterpreted and revisited. The present work is a move to this direction of new perspective on Gandhi and his conceptualization of social order. 128 pp. …

The idea that our society is no longer governed by history or progress is proposed by Postmodernity. Postmodern society is highly pluralistic differentiated and diverse. It rejects all grand narratives such as Marxism Gandhism and rationalism which are propagated as universalistic explanations of society. Postmodernity meets the challenges given by modernity. It is in the west particularly the United States that modernity has turned the society into a risk society. In India modernity's benefits are cornered by high caste Hindus elites political leaders and higher classes. The subalterns the marginals and the disadvantaged masses have been left high and dry. It is the modernity which has created religious academic and market fundamentalism and an age of dark dogma. Ethnicities have become part of damage done to the Indian society by modernity. Postmodernity combats the challenges given by modernity. In this book the author applies the perspective of Postmodernity to the interpretation of increasingly changing contemporary Indian Society. With this he looks afresh at family caste village culture and religion. It is for the first time that fundamentalism has been so thoroughly examined by a sociologist. The author shows great courage to establish that Indian society is a postmodern society. The book is a must for sociology and anthropology teachers NGOs researchers and students appearing for competitive examinations. 336 pp.…
