The Cracked mirror : an Indian debate on experience and theory / Gopal Guru and Sundar Sarukkai - New Delhi : Oxford University Press, 2012 - viii, 248p. 22cm.

This volume explores the relationship between experience and theory in Indian social sciences in the form of a dialogue. It focuses on questions of Dalit experience and un-touch ability. Thematically divided into five sections, the first discusses the problems associated with theory in the social sciences in the Indian context. The next makes inquiries into the nature of personal and collective experience. The third explores the larger connection between ethics and theory in India, both in the natural and social sciences. The fourth examines the ontological and epistemological nature of experience itself and the politics of experience, and the last focuses on the experience and theory of experience in India.
