_HUMANIZING HUMANITY_ IS DISTINCTIVELY FRAMED ADVOCACY OF THE WAYS IN
WHICH THE CONCEPT OF HUMANITY HAS BEEN DEFENDED BY VARIOUS IDEOLOGUES
OF INDIA LIKE TAGORE, GANDHI, AND AMBEDKAR. By grounding itself in the
epistemology of intellectual history, the book delineates how these
three major thinkers visualised the ways in which society can be
better humanized. Such a process of humanization for these thinkers
forms the bedrock of the trajectory in which humanity may be
preserved, amidst intense authoritarianism and the violent quest for
power by a small minority in the society.
The book is an attempt at exploring the strands of inter-textuality
that exist when Tagore, Gandhi and Ambedkar's thinking is situated in
the ontic and epistemic context of a few humans' tendency to destroy
humanity and the efforts of another section to create conditions for
its preservation. Bidyut Chakrabarty does this by comparing the ways
in which the Federalist Papers of the United States of America and the
Indian Constitution manifest as quintessential texts that uphold the
principles of liberty, equality, justice, and the protection of the
weaker sections of society from structured strands of domination and
exploitation.
