Topics covered in this BPSC 112 solved assignment

The answers walk you through the main themes of Indian Political Thought-I. You will find the methodological problems in studying the Brāhmanic tradition: prescriptive texts, uncertain dating, elite authorship, colonial and nationalist readings, and the risk of applying modern ideas like “state” and “sovereignty” to ancient texts.

The Shramanic answer explains Buddhist and Jain political ideas, including the Aggañña Sutta and the elected king Mahasammata, the righteous wheel-turning ruler, the Kutadanta Sutta’s focus on welfare, republican practices of the Vajjis and the Sangha, and Jain ideas of Rishabhadeva, ahimsa and anekantavada. The Islamic tradition answer covers Tawhid, Risalat, Akhirat, Shariah, Ijma, Qiyas, Ijtihad, Ummah, Khilafat, Shura and Adl, with Barani’s zawabit.

Further answers trace the Bhakti movement from the Alvars and Nayanars to Kabir, Ravidas, the Varkari saints and Guru Nanak, with a balanced critical appraisal. You also get the Rajadharmanushasana, Apaddharma and Mokshadharma sub-parvas of the Shantiparva, Manu’s divine theory of the state, a Dharmashastra vs Arthashastra comparison, the monarchical state in the Dīgha Nikāya, Nasihat (mirror for princes) literature and the Lingayat tradition of Basavanna.
