It invites the reader to consider the possibility of imagining a normative Indian public sphere that is embedded in the Indian context—in a native and not nativist sense—to get past the derivative language of philosophical and political discourses prevalent within Indian academia. The book proposes that the dynamic cooperative space between Indian political theory and contemporary Indian philosophy is effectively suited to theorize the native idea of the Indian public sphere. It underlines the normative need for a natively theorized Indian public sphere to further the multilayered democratization of public spheres within diverse communities that constitute Indian society.

The book will be a key read for contemporary studies in philosophy, political theory, sociology, postcolonial theory, history and media and communication studies.  aIndian Political Theory9601  aPublic SpherevNormative Public Sphere9602  aHabermas9603  aPolitical Philosophy9345  2ddccBK  c750947d750947  00102ddc40708NFICaPHLbPHLcPROCd2025-08-14eModern Book Centre, MBC/0637/2024 Dtd 21/02/2025g1295.00l0o320.954 ALI/IpPHL4764r2025-08-14 11:34:02w2025-08-14yBK
