Authority and Forms of Political Protest in Indian Tradition
In ancient India, there was a close link between the nature of political authority and forms of political protest.Authority of the king was legitimized through the Vedic rituals such as consecration ceremony.Second method of legitimization was based on the consent of the people which was secured through social contract theory of origin of kingship.Indian thinkers argued that the king who did not follow the principle of Dharma would suffer loss of authority. In ancient India, the people followed various methods of protest to bring about change in the unjust policies of the government.If the king did not change his behavior after the protest, the people tried to overthrow the government.They used both nonviolent and violent methods. They offered dharna, demonstrations, fasting, jumping in fire to register protest, non-payment of taxes, assassinations of the tyrants and mass lynching of wicked despots.Freedom fighters in modern India followed some of these forms of protest to fight against foreign rule.It is for the first time that the forms of protest are described and critically analyzed in a book.

'Tradition or remnant?'
Tradition and remnant can be seen as two different concepts. Tradition refers to practices, beliefs, or customs that are passed down through generations and are actively maintained and celebrated within a culture or community. On the other hand, a remnant refers to something that remains from the past, often as a surviving trace or fragment of what once was. While tradition is actively upheld and passed down, a remnant may be a leftover or residual aspect of a culture or practice that has faded or disappeared over time.

The Limits of Liberalism : Tradition, Individualism, and the Crisis of Freedom
In The Limits of Liberalism, Mark T. Mitchell argues that a rejection of tradition is both philosophically incoherent and politically harmful. The Limits of Liberalism identifies why most modern thinkers have denied the essential role of tradition and explains how tradition can be restored to its proper place.Mitchell demonstrates that the rejection of tradition as an epistemic necessity has produced a false conception of the human person—the liberal self—which in turn has produced a false conception of freedom.Together, these false conceptions have facilitated both liberal cosmopolitanism and identity politics. Mitchell uses the philosophies of Michael Oakeshott, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Michael Polanyi to construct a compelling argument for a reconstructed view of tradition and, as a result, a reconstructed view of freedom.The Limits of Liberalism reveals that only by finding an alternative to the liberal self can we escape the incoherencies and pathologies inherent therein.
