520 _a"To Raise a Fallen People explores the historical roots of India's strategy of pragmatism in international affairs that persists even today as the nation grows in global prominence. Drawing on extensive archival research, this book uses essays, letters, and pamphlets by prominent Indian intellectuals to show the early formative debates over India's place in the world in the nineteenth century. Topics range from the necessity of English-language education and international trade to the actions of great powers and what India could teach the West. These primary sources are contexualized by essays by author Rahul Sagar, who provides insight into how a clearer sense of this history will help observers better grasp the sources of India's international conduct. To Raise a Fallen People is a unique work in international relations history and theory that showcases non-Western perspectives on the modern international system in its founding days
