About the Book

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 a common struggle, 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 Hindu Rashtra is not just against the Constitution, not just majoritarian, but in openly advocating a second-class status for the minorities, indubitably ‘fascistic’.

Sitaram Yechury
Sitaram Yechury (1952–2024) was General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) from 2015 till his death. He served as member of the Rajya Sabha for two terms, from 2005 to 2017. As a student leader with the Students’ Federation of India, he was arrested during the Emergency (1975–77). Following the lifting of the Emergency, he was elected President of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union thrice over two years, 1977–78. He was elected to the Central Committee of the CPI(M) in 1984, and to its Polit Bureau in 1992. A prolific speaker and writer, several collections of his speeches, columns and articles have been published.
