Explore the mysteries of the Saraswati River, believed to be the cradle of the Indus-Saraswati civilisation. This book challenges the Aryan Invasion Theory, presenting evidence from archaeology, geology, satellite imagery, and linguistics to argue that the civilisation was indigenous. It links the river’s disappearance around 2000 BCE to tectonic shifts and monsoon changes, marking the civilisation's decline and migration. Highlighting cultural continuities like yoga and Soma symbolism in modern Hindu traditions, the author questions colonial-era historical interpretations and calls for a multidisciplinary reassessment of India's ancient past.

This text excerpts a book critiquing Western universalism through the lens of Indian thought. It contrasts the West's anxiety towards chaos with Dharmic traditions' comfort in complexity and ambiguity, highlighting differing views on history's religious significance. The author argues that Western frameworks often misunderstand or ignore non-Western perspectives, promoting a biased "universal" viewpoint. Further, the text explores difference anxiety in both dominant and subordinate cultures, analysing how this impacts intercultural interactions and the misrepresentation of Dharmic traditions. Finally, the author advocates for a "reversed gaze," utilising Dharmic principles to critically examine Western assumptions.

The provided text comprises excerpts and reviews of J. Sai Deepak's book, India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution. The book, and the accompanying commentary, argues that India's consciousness remains profoundly shaped by coloniality, a concept explored through the lens of decolonial theory originating in Latin America. The authors discuss the enduring impact of European colonialism on Indian culture, politics, and law, particularly its religious and racial dimensions. They contend that true decolonisation requires a conscious rejection of Western-normative frameworks and a reclamation of India's indigenous traditions. The book analyses the influence of coloniality on India's constitution, advocating for a decolonised approach to constitutional interpretation.
