© Thinkworks Pvt Ltd – Sudhir Kakkar is a pioneering psychoanalyst in India whose scholarship marked a break from the Western tradition to explore an Indian understanding of the self. He has authored more than two dozen books, both fiction and non-fiction, analysing characters as diverse as Bhartrhari, Mahatma Gandhi, Dara Shikoh, Mirabehn, and Vātsyāyana. His most recent book is on Rudyard Kipling, a psychological portrait of the author who reflects the schisms of the psyche that we bear even today. It deeply contemplates on the nature of our Indianess. What is it now and what have we inherited?
