About the Book
This book examines the political and developmental thought of the democratic socialist opposition party of India during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. It thereby contributes to a modern global history of political ideas and examines the role of Marxism, Gandhi and modernisation theory for the political development of India during the Cold War. The study focuses on the modernisation policies implemented by the Nehru government: Increasingly facing competing claims from Nehru to be pursuing socialist policies after the mid-1950s, the movement eventually broke apart and large numbers of socialists were assimilated by the Congress Party where they continued to shape Indian politics.

Editorial Reviews
“This is an important contribution to both the scholarly study of yogic traditions and the emerging global conversation on consciousness. The scholarship is both wide-ranging and sound, and the book offers interesting and novel interpretations of yogic texts and traditions, which are made possible by the deep work on Husserl and Heidegger. It will be of interest to scholars of phenomenology, yoga, Indian philosophy, and consciousness studies.”
