Disenchanted India and Beyond: Musings on the Lockdown Alternatives engages with the lineages of the present disenchantment and everyday issues of people in India and beyond. It depicts local, regional, national and global transitions in politics, economy and society. It rejects the ideals that promotes ‘there is no alternative’ narratives. It unravels the way reactionary and right-wing forces weaponize pessimism that helps capitalist forces and undermines working classes. The book examines existing and available alternatives for a prosperous and peaceful society. The book argues for pluriversal political and philosophical praxis to consolidate and defend the progressive achievements of the working-class struggles.

At a time of intense, almost universal repression in the name of a virus, the indomitable humanism and sharp insight that Bhabani Nayak has demonstrated over the years, stands out as a beacon of sanity. With so many academics bowing to the 'power of nightmares', this time a virus infection for which a simple medication exists, Bhabani has retained the ability to analyse how this global intervention is connected to the capitalist system in terminal decline. His passionate humanism and sustained commitment run through this fine collection.
