| Book Description | In this original and timely book, Ramin Jahanbegloo, one of the world’s leading political philosophers, engages with the most pressing question facing all of us today: is it not our duty, as free and autonomous citizens of democracy, to question and speak out against all authority? Should we not take back the power from self-interested political actors in the true spirit of Gandhi, for whom Swaraj was more than mere freedom from oppression?The core idea of Gandhi’s philosophy of resistance, Jahanbegloo argues, is his unshakeable conviction that it is no longer possible to organize political action without disobedience. Democracy, to be worthy of obedience, he says, must be structured so that every citizen can question and disobey unjust laws and institutions. This is what Mahatma Gandhi still tells us, more forcefully than any other thinker of the twentieth century. |
| Editorial Review | ‘A powerful moral and philosophical argument for disobedience as a mandatory duty of every citizen in a democracy.’—The Financial Express ‘The Disobedient Indian explores disobedience both as a principle and as a political tool. The book reiterates the primacy of a discerning individual who dares to question those wielding power… The book is a timely reminder in a climate of intolerance in the context of lumpen politics, the rise of undeserving leaders and the looming threats of dictatorship… a seminal work that examines profound thoughts in a simple style.’—Deccan Herald |
