"Revolutionary politics is the only way we can save ourselves...But it has to begin with the recognition and criticalization of the actual and specific forms of power"

Divya Dwivedi is an Indian philosopher and professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, working across continental philosophy, critical theory, narratology, and the critical philosophy of caste and race. Her thinking has developed in dialogue with some of the most significant thinkers of our time — including Slavoj Žižek, Étienne Balibar, and the late Jean-Luc Nancy — and her philosophical dismantling of upper-caste supremacism has drawn international acclaim.

Her latest book, Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics (co-authored with Shaj Mohan), calls for revolutionary transformation within India’s caste system, which Žižek called "required reading for anyone who wants to understand the precipice toward which our entire world is heading."

"Not since the days of Sartre has philosophy addressed political issues with the directness and clarity that Dwivedi and Mohan bring." — Robert Bernasconi
