Who is a Terrorist? New product
Synopsis of the book
“WHO IS A TERRORIST?” written by Prof. Soyam Lokendrajit, Head, Dept. of
Philosophy, Manipur University and published by Waba Publications. The book
is a critique of the politics of definition. The Corporate Empire
monopolises definitions and premises, draws its own conclusions.
Accordingly, it is busy in mapping the scheme of things to its heart’s
content, presiding over the destiny of mankind in its so called
dispensation of freedom. However a journey into the heart of the Empire
reveals terror, r**e, murder, fake encounter, corruption, greed, hypocrisy,
multiple-speak, genocide and ecocide in the name of development, corrosion
of timeless civilisational values, making zombies of humans in the so
called democratic experiment. The author’s own journey spanning over a
decade is mirrored in a series of essays on the themes of terrorism and
revolution, AFSPA, sovereignty, right to self-determination, non-violence
and conflict resolution, identity and violence, democracy, civil society
and good governance. Throughout the journey his fidelity is to the
dialectics of transcendence and looking towards what lies beyond the
horizon.
