Summary: Twilight Falls on Liberalism examines the contemporary crisis of liberalism in the twenty-first century. Rudrangshu Mukherjee traces the historical evolution of liberal thought, arguing that while liberalism championed ideals such as liberty, democracy, equality, and citizenship in the West, it often coexisted with colonial domination and exclusion elsewhere. The book explores how these internal contradictions weakened liberalism, making it vulnerable to authoritarian and populist challenges. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, the author analyzes the decline of liberal democratic values across both Western and non-Western societies and reflects on the future of liberal democracy.
