Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 1995.

This comparative study of Sun Yat-sen's and Gandhi's perspectives on social change, as well as modernist discourses in China and India analyzes why modernization is shaped by different cultural traditions, social settings and historical realities. Using social and cultural settings as independent variables and social change as dependent variables, the dissertation explains why modernity turns out to be a universal theme while modernization appears problematic in the two countries.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This comparative study of Sun Yat-sen's and Gandhi's perspectives on social change, as well as modernist discourses in China and India analyzes why modernization is shaped by different cultural traditions, social settings and historical realities. Using social and cultural settings as independent variables and social change as dependent variables, the dissertation explains why modernity turns out to be a universal theme while modernization appears problematic in the two countries.
520 $a Taking Sun Yat-sen's experience as a microcosm of his generation of intellectual and political elites in search of modernity and Gandhi's critique of modernity as a search for alternatives to modernization, the dissertation presents contesting discourses articulated by Chinese and Indian intellectual and political elites with analyses of the specific historical realities and cultural traditions that influence those discourses.
520 $a Critical of cultural imperialism, the author of the dissertation tries to read the modernist discourses in China and India in their specific historical context. Interpreting the different approaches to social change adopted by Chinese and Indian intellectual and political elites, the dissertation explains how tradition has influenced the collective intellectual preference and modernization processes in the two countries. The dissertation reaches the conclusion that traditional culture, transforming and adapting itself from time to time, constantly influences the development of society in different historical moments, and modernization at micro-level is not the same for all nations and for all time. As different nations have different cultural traditions, social settings and historical realities, the Third World countries can not simply copy the modern West but should have more alternatives to westernization.
