The public intellectual in India is an endangered species. Should we service? In such a well-argued booklet, Romila Thapar and others reveal why we have to. Thapar begins by defining the critical role that such individuals play in our societies today. Collectively they will be the objective, fearless, constructive speech that asks the awkward questions when federal, industry, religious leaders and other bulwarks of modern culture stray from other roles of ensuring the proper functioning of your country whose hallmarks are (or should be) public and economic equality, justice for everyone and the liberty to say, think and profess the fundamental requirements of good citizenship. With the lens of record, philosophy, science and politics, she shows us the main element role enlightened thinkers and activists have played in India, Europe and elsewhere. Today, as the liberal space in India is threatened by spiritual fundamentalism, big business and, worryingly, a federal that appears to be tacitly (and sometimes overtly) pushing the episode on liberty of expression, secular prices and rational readings of record, there could be no booklet as timely as that one. With contributions from writers and scholars in the areas of philosophy, science, record, journalism and public activism, The Public Intellectual in India shows us why it's important to have impartial voices to safeguard the underprivileged, ensure individuals rights and public justice, watching over the easy functioning of your liberal secular democracy.
