The Ethical Impulse(s) behind Civil Rights Activism in India
The talk analyses civil rights activism in Indian politics. It traces the path taken by voluntary and independent citizen groups to secure civil rights. In that backdrop the talk proposes some analytical insights to show how such activism was recieved, re-worked, and deployed to create a particular ethical practice of civil rights activism in a postcolonial context.
