{"product_id":"the-fight-for-the-republic-sitaram-yechury-9788197938382","title":"The Fight for the Republic","description":"This book of three essays by Sitaram Yechury, introduced by Prabhat Patnaik is the first in the series titled 'Contemporary Themes'. The basic theme running through the essays included here is: reason versus unreason. The fomenting of hatred by Hindutva forces in India against religious minorities is advanced on the basis of a perception of history based on an invoking of unreason. As against this, these essays promote inclusive nationalism founded on a reading of our history that relies on evidence and reason. Yechury states that India's anti-colonial nationalism sought to unite all segments of society in \u003ci\u003ea common struggle\u003c\/i\u003e, on the basis of a vision which ultimately got enshrined in the Constitution: the vision of a secular democracy committed to social justice and federalism. As against this, the Hindutva vision of a \u003ci\u003eHindu Rashtra\u003c\/i\u003e is not just against the Constitution, not just majoritarian, but in openly advocating a second-class status for the minorities, indubitably 'fascistic'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sitaram Yechury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8197938385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788197938382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tulika Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sitaram Yechury","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962735775999,"sku":"9788197938382","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9be587bc-f939-44ce-a4b0-fbb77ce47a96.jpg?v=1750652372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fight-for-the-republic-sitaram-yechury-9788197938382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
