History of Political Thought covers detailed study of Socialism and Democratic Socialism with all its forms such as Fabian Socialism and Symbilcalism. Communism based on Marxist thinking has been re-interperted, moulded and amended by Lenin and Stalin in Russia and by Mao-Tse-Tung in China. Ideas of these thinkers have been presented in this book in a very simple and lucid language. Impact of Anarchism, Fascism and Pluralism in Russia, Italy and Germany and Britain, including its colonial empire, has been very well explained. Opinions of modern thinkers like Harold Laski, G.D.H. Cole and Bertrand Russell about new political traditions in the West have also been given in brief. After Independence, due to great impact of Indian Political Thought all over the world including Indian Polity and its people, ideas of Mahatma Gandhi, Sarvoyadaya and of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru have been described in this book in a comprehensive manner.
