American-Born Author Living in Sri Lanka Publishes Book on Modern Indian Thought

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) Elusive Ideology: Religion and Socialism in Modern Indian Thought, a new book by Mark Hager, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

An intellectual history of modern Indian thought, Elusive Ideology suggests that key thinkers juxtapose Western socialist themes with Indian religious themes so as to generate novel political agendas. In that context, Gandhian Socialism merits special attention, pivoting on two of Gandhi's preoccupations: egalitarian rural communities and nonviolent transformational movements. It exerts substantial sway on Marxist-oriented thinkers initially skeptical of Gandhi.
