Globalizing Indian Thought

The overarching principle that once integrated India's institutions is often described by the word 'dharma'. The notion of dharma goes well beyond what is known as 'rule of law'. Rule of law is about publicly disclosed legal codes and processes. Dharma, on the other hand, is the holding principle that encompasses the whole of nature, including human nature. Dharma is much more nuanced and yet, paradoxically, more unambiguous than rule of law.The research presented in Globalizing Indian Thought tells us that India will do well to hark back to its 'sanatana dharma'. The book decodes and deliberates on a few big ideas with the hope to shape India's story on the world stage. It would be of interest to anyone who wishes to know how we can bring in ideas that are inherently Indian to broaden the discourse on matters of national and international importance.
