Description

Diplomacy is conventionally understood as an authentic European invention which was internationalised during colonialism.

For Indians, the moment of colonial liberation was a false dawn because the colonised had internalised a European logic and performed European practices.

Implicit in such a reading is the enduring centrality of Europe to understanding Indian diplomacy.

This Eurocentric discourse renders two possibilities impossible: that diplomacy may have Indian origins and that they offer un-theorised potentialities.

Abandoning this Eurocentric model of diplomacy, Deep Datta-Ray recognises the legitimacy of independent Indian diplomacy and brings new practices.

He creates a conceptual space for Indian diplomacy to exist, forefronting civilisational analysis and its focus on continuities, but refraining from devaluing transformational change.
