Panikkar, is a unique collection that discusses different forms of resistance to colonialism and their role in the creation of alternative modernity in India. Summary of the Book This title offers an engaging and informative account of the growth of political and cultural consciousness in the Indian subcontinent. Exploring three areas of resistance: armed uprising, intellectual dissent, and cultural protest, K.N. Panikkar asserts that they were informed by a vision of a condition beyond colonialism in which convention and modernity selectively, but creatively, came together.
