To browse Academia. A remembrance and tribute to the late Indian political theorist Dr. Rajni Kothari. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, New York: Cambridge University Press, London: Zed Books, New Delhi: Oxford University Press, The study of Indian politics, especially in the conventional disciplinary framework of political science, is often differentiated from what is called political theory.

Indian politics, more generally, refers to the functioning of institutions Parliament, Supreme Court, political parties and the everydayness of political processes. On the other hand, political theory is envisaged as a sophisticated mode of thinking about certain concepts liberty, equality, justice, secularism and intellectual traditions liberalism, Marxism and so on.

The dominance of Eurocentric Western concepts and categories is clearly visible in such disciplinary representation of political theory as a subject.
