Focusing on ideologies of conflict and hate, built around systems of caste, ethnic and racial discriminations, this book revisits how B. R. Ambedkar and W. E. B. DuBois, two prominent early twentieth century thinker-activists, envisaged constitutionalism and principles of social &#8220;endosmosis&#8221; as possible means of dialogue, social justice and inter-community trust building. Examining conventional definitions of the archive, this study explores the possibility of a more effective discourse of &#8220;anarchiving&#8221; that historicizes the present in such a way so that potential spaces of subject formation and social critique can be fortified for future.
