Most democratic theorists have taken Western political traditions as their primary point of reference, although the growing field of comparative political theory has shifted this focus. In Decolonizing Democracy, comparative theorist Christine Keating interprets the formation of Indian democracy as a progressive example of a âpostcolonial social contract.â In doing so, she highlights the significance of reconfigurations of democracy in postcolonial polities like India and sheds new light on the social contract, a central concept within democratic theory from Locke to Rawls and beyond. Keatingâs analysis builds on the literature developed by feminists like Carole Pateman and critical race theorists like Charles Mills that examines the social contractâs egalitarian potential. By analyzing the ways in which the framers of the Indian constitution sought to address injustices of gender, race, religion, and caste, as well as present-day struggles over womenâs legal and political status, Keating demonstrates that democracyâs social contract continues to be challenged and reworked in innovative and potentially more just ways.
