Abstract
Contemporary political theory is dominated by the ideas and values of modern Western thought, however, following the decolonisation process in Asia and Africa an important debate is taking place regarding the continuity and legitimacy of those ideas in postcolonial societies. This paper analyses that debate within Indian political science, on how Western ideas have interacted with those in the Indian tradition to shape the present modern Indian political thought and the contemporary Indian state. The paper presents the main historiographical approaches present in this debate through an analysis of their main authors and works: the hermeneutic approach, which defends that modern Indian political thought is the result of a process of encounter between Western and Indian traditions, and the indigenist approach, which advocates for the development of an Indian political science discipline autonomous of Western ideas and values.References
