The present work – “Revisiting Rammanohar Lohia – Challenges to the Theory and Practice of Alternative Socialism” examines the specific contribution of Lohia to the idea of Indian socialism. It attempts to contextualize Lohia, his readings into Marx and Gandhi, and his skilful construction of an independent canon of political thought in India. Lohia was both a theoretician and activist in the freedom struggle of India. His political experience during the freedom struggle and in the independent India during its formative years prompted him to examine certain of the propositions of Marx and their direct applicability to Indian situation. His long association with Gandhi and his political action in the form of ‘civil disobedience’ further contributed to his theorization of ‘socialism’ and also its praxis. It’s not that his theory was without any challenges. Both the other forms of socialist thought already available in the world politics – Marxism and Nehruvian socialism in India, confronted Lohia’s nuanced native socialism. The globalized world order after 1980s also challenges his many economic premises. This work is an attempt in this context to place Lohia in a proper perspective. Raghu Kumar is an advocate practicing in employment law in Hyderabad since 2005.
