Book Description

About the Book The book, "The State and the Citizen," explores various topics such as poverty, national welfare, the constitution, regionalism, technology, historical studies, and more. It delves into the concept of citizenship in both dependent and self-governing societies, emphasizing the duties and rights of citizens. The author addresses challenges in India, including the persistence of disobedience doctrines from the independence struggle and student strikes. The complex relationship between citizens and the omnipotent state is examined, highlighting the evolving dynamics in modern society. The book provides insights into the multifaceted issues shaping the political landscape of India.

About the Author Kavalam Madhava Panikkar (3 June 1895- 10 December 1963), known as Sardar K. M. Panikkar, was an Indian statesman, diplomat, professor, editor, historian, and novelist. Born in Travancore, he studied in Madras and Oxford. Panikkar edited Hindustan Times, served princely states, and represented India at the UN in 1947. As India's Ambassador to China, he built relations with Chiang Kai-shek. His writings include "Malabar and the Portuguese," "Asia and Western Dominance," and "In Two Chinas." A versatile scholar, he explored Malayalam literature, history, and European influence on Asia. His extensive bibliography covers education, history, diplomacy, and cultural relations, showcasing his prolific contributions.

Preface IN A DEPENDENT society, the individual is a subject. He has neither the rights nor the obligations of a citizen. He obeys the law because he is forced to do so; he performs such services and duties as he is compelled to, not because he has any obligation. In an independent state where the people govern themselves the situation is fundamentally different. The basic assumption in a free community is that cach individual shares in the responsibility of government and has duties and rights towards the society and the state. The obligations of a free citizen in a self-governing community are therefore different from those imposed on him in a dependent society. In discussing the position of the individual in regard to the state in India this is a major consideration which we must constantly keep in mind. During our struggle for independence we developed attitudes and ways of thinking appropriate to our position as a dependent people fighting to secure freedom. We were for over a quarter of a century in revolt against the state, denying its moral validity and claiming the right to disobey its laws and to force it into courses of action by methods of non-cooperation While no one can deny that an unfree society has the right to resort to such action-in fact the right to rebel-it is obvious that such action in a self-governing society is against the fundamental postulates of freedom.
