But in transforming Indian society to ensure a better future for the Indian people, radical politics must preserve the kernel of the liberal-political tradition in the process of transcending that heritage. While keeping in place its historic legacy, "New Democracy" needs to be reimagined as part of a longer, truly democratic, human needs-based "political transition period" on the road to socialism. - Reproduce Capitali loDemocracy Economic and Political Weekly 114182 114176 114176 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 52, Issue no: 11 AR114642 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
