Sai Deepak builds a strong decolonial argument disengaging from modern Western orthodoxy of the either/or, and proposes instead the decolonial logic of neither/nor. He does it by means of a detailed and careful reconstitution of knowledges, ways of knowing and patterns of sensing that were destituted and continue to be so in the name of progress, democracy and economic development, all under the mantra that more is better. ― Walter D. Mignolo William Hane Wannamaker Distinguished Professor of Romance Studies, Duke University, USA

J. Sai Deepak has begun something here that needs serious attention. It also suggests that significant support is required to develop its proposals further in directions not yet explored. I hope the book will be read and debated widely, especially in and for the sake of the 'India that is Bharat'. ― Dr. Prakash Shah Reader in Culture and Law, Queen Mary, University of London

Through this magisterial trilogy, advocate and scholar J. Sai Deepak successfully fills a huge vacuum in the corpus of decolonial scholarship from a uniquely empathetic Indian perspective. In a masterful manner, Sai Deepak traces the global history of colonialism, India's unfortunate tryst with it and, importantly, inquires its impact on the emergence of a colonial consciousness. A must-read tribute to the Indic civilisation for anyone serious about understanding the pernicious trajectory of invasive colonialism and the lingering colonial consciousness in the 'independent' Indian (or should we term this as he does, Bharateeya) mind, and how to consciously work towards reversing it. ― Dr. Vikram Sampath Historian, Author and Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Monash University

Advocate J. Sai Deepak has provided India with a milestone: a step from superficial to integral decolonization. Few combine the vision of a civilisational liberation, easy to invoke in malleable cultural respects, with the exacting juridical knowledge needed for a precise and workable paradigm shift deconstructing this lingering submission. ― Dr. Koenraad Elst Scholar and Author of Decolonizing the Hindu Mind

The wealth of evidence the author marshals in support of his arguments is truly impressive and reflects the rigour of his study. I have no doubt that India that is Bharat will be a welcome addition to the nascent corpus of literature in this specialist field. That it has emerged from India is a bonus.I wish the book and its author all the success in getting the recognition it deserves. ― Sandeep Balakrishna Scholar and Author of Invaders and Infidels

The book is a must-read for everyone who is interested in understanding the relationship between the consciousness of the world's oldest surviving indigenous civilisation and the Constitution of the world's largest democracy. ― Prof. Lavanya Vemsani Professor of History, Shawnee State University, and Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of Indic Studies

India, That Is Bharat examines, through a decolonial lens, if Bharat's constitutional journey is informed by European 'coloniality', which affects its relationship with the Indic civilisational worldview.
