SanjayBism is an independent intellectual space created to explore politics, society, and human experience without reducing them to slogans or certainties.

Politics is not what they tell you it is. Politics is what you see when you learn to look.

What This Website Covers

SanjayBism.com brings together multiple dimensions of political understanding through original, research-based content. Each area reflects genuine intellectual interest and rigorous analysis, not a checklist. This is a living exploration of how our world actually works.

🏛️

Political Science & Governance

Comprehensive analyses of Indian politics, democratic institutions, constitutional governance, public administration, political systems, electoral politics, bureaucratic functioning, federalism, and local governance. These articles examine not just what happens in politics, but why it happens-exploring theories, structures, and power dynamics that shape political reality.

🌍

International Relations & Global Politics

Deep dives into geopolitics, diplomacy, international conflicts, global institutions, foreign policy, and the balance of power among nations. Connecting classical IR theory with contemporary developments, examining how states interact, how alliances form and fracture, and how global events impact ordinary lives-especially from an Indian and Global South perspective.

🤝

Conflict Studies & Peace Research

Origins of political conflicts, ethnic tensions, religious disputes, territorial wars, and social confrontations. More importantly, pathways to peace-conflict resolution mechanisms, peacebuilding efforts, reconciliation processes, and the conditions that allow societies to move from violence to dialogue. Analysis of both historical conflicts and ongoing crises worldwide.

⚔️

War, Peace & Security Studies

From conventional warfare to nuclear deterrence, from terrorism to cyber conflicts. Analyzing military strategy, defence policy, humanitarian crises, refugee movements, and the ethical dimensions of war and peace. Understanding not just how wars happen, but how sustainable peace can be built.

📜

Political Philosophy & Theory

Fundamental questions about legitimacy, justice, and social organisation. Exploring classical thinkers-Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Gandhi-and contemporary theorists who help us understand democracy, liberty, equality, rights, and political obligation. Connecting timeless philosophical questions to modern political challenges.

🏘️

Society & Human Behaviour

Social structures, caste and class dynamics, gender and politics, religious identity, nationalism, social movements, and collective action. Examining how social behaviours shape political outcomes and how political systems reinforce or challenge social hierarchies. Understanding the informal rules, cultural practices, and psychological patterns that influence political life.

⚖️

Democracy, Inequality & Social Justice

Critical examination of democratic institutions, electoral systems, representation, minority rights, social justice movements, and the gap between constitutional ideals and lived reality. Exploring questions of inclusion and exclusion, privilege and marginalisation, and the ongoing struggle to make democracy meaningful for all citizens.

🌐

Contemporary Trends & Current Affairs

Current political developments, emerging trends, technological impacts on politics, environmental politics, migration crises, economic transformations, and contemporary issues. These pieces are grounded in political science rather than mere journalism-offering context, theory, and deeper understanding rather than just reporting events.

✍️

Poetry & Reflective Essays

Politics is not only about rationality and institutions-it lives in emotions, experiences, contradictions, and the deeply human dimensions of power and powerlessness. Creative pieces engaging with memory, loss, love, alienation, fear, resistance, social pressure, and identity. Poetry allows expression of what analytical prose sometimes cannot capture.

🎓

Educational Insights & Academic Reflections

Thoughts on teaching political science, learning methods, academic research, and the challenges of political education in contemporary India. These pieces may benefit students preparing for competitive examinations, researchers beginning their academic journey, and fellow educators interested in pedagogical approaches.

Example: Political Theory in Practice

A significant part of SanjayBism is devoted to political analysis rooted in political science and international relations. Articles examine Indian politics, governance, nationalism, democratic institutions, public policy, and global affairs. The focus is not only on events, but on the ideas, structures, and power relations that shape them.

The aim is to move beyond surface opinions and offer context, theory, and critical reasoning that help readers interpret political realities more carefully. Like Why Political Theory Still Matters in India and the World in 2026-a piece that demonstrates how ancient and modern political philosophy illuminates contemporary challenges.

International Relations from a Global South Lens

This platform regularly engages with international relations, geopolitical tensions, diplomacy, and global power politics. These writings connect classical and contemporary political theory with current international developments, especially from an Indian perspective.

Rather than treating global politics as distant abstractions, the articles focus on how international events influence societies, states, and ordinary lives. The goal is to provide analysis that respects complexity while remaining accessible to thoughtful general readers.

My Approach to Writing

Every article, essay, and poem on SanjayBism.com is independently written and personally researched. I am not affiliated with any political party, ideological organisation, corporate entity, or advocacy group. My academic training informs my perspective, but this platform gives me complete freedom to explore ideas without institutional limitations.

  • Research-Based: Every analytical piece is grounded in careful research, evidence, and theoretical frameworks. I cite sources, acknowledge scholarly debates, and present arguments that can be examined and challenged.

  • Intellectually Honest: I strive to present multiple perspectives on contested issues, acknowledge complexity, and avoid oversimplification for rhetorical effect. My goal is understanding, not propaganda.

  • Accessible Yet Rigorous: While rooted in academic political science, my writing is intended for educated general readers, not just specialists. I avoid unnecessary jargon while maintaining analytical depth.

  • Independent and Non-Partisan: I analyse all political actors, ideologies, and movements based on evidence and principles-not party loyalty or ideological conformity.

Who This Website Serves

SanjayBism.com is created for readers who value depth over virality, evidence over opinion, and careful argument over emotional rhetoric. This is not a news portal offering daily updates or a content mill producing clickbait articles. It is a growing intellectual archive-a space for slow, careful thinking about politics and society.

  • Students & Aspirants

    Those preparing for competitive examinations like UPSC, UGC-NET, State PSC, or studying political science, international relations, sociology, and related disciplines. Resources here offer analytical frameworks, theoretical depth, and comprehensive understanding beyond textbook summaries.

  • Researchers & Scholars

    Those interested in Indian politics, conflict studies, international relations, political theory, and the broader questions of governance and society. Articles engage with academic literature while remaining accessible and intellectually stimulating.

  • Educators & Teachers

    Looking for resources, perspectives, and analytical frameworks for teaching political subjects in classrooms and beyond. Pedagogical insights, theoretical discussions, and real-world applications make this a valuable teaching resource.

  • Thoughtful Citizens

    People who want to understand political and social realities beyond headlines, soundbites, and the noise of daily discourse. Citizens who value democracy enough to invest time in understanding how it actually works.

  • The Curious Mind

    Anyone genuinely interested in politics, society, governance, philosophy, global affairs, and the big ideas that shape our world. Those willing to engage with complexity rather than seeking quick answers or comfortable certainties.

Core Values of SanjayBism

Independent Thought: This platform prioritises intellectual independence, evidence-based reasoning, and critical analysis over ideological conformity or partisan loyalty. Ideas matter more than allegiances.

Research Over Noise: Every piece values depth over virality, evidence over opinion, and careful argument over emotional rhetoric. Substance always takes precedence over spectacle.

Fairness Over Ideology: I examine political issues as fairly as possible, acknowledging legitimate disagreements and respecting intellectual opponents even when I hold strong convictions.

Respectful Disagreement: Democracy requires the ability to disagree profoundly without dehumanising those who think differently. Intellectual honesty means engaging with the strongest versions of opposing arguments.

Intellectual Responsibility: Writing is not just self-expression-it carries responsibility toward readers, toward truth, and toward the future society we are collectively building.

What Makes This Platform Different

Many social and political problems persist not because people are inherently cruel or irrational, but because critical thinking stops at the boundaries of habit, fear, convenience, or ideological tribalism. If this website helps readers pause, question assumptions, examine familiar realities with greater depth, and engage with political differences without hatred, it serves its purpose.

I believe thinking is a moral responsibility-especially in times when misinformation spreads rapidly, when complex issues are reduced to slogans, and when disagreement too often becomes dehumanisation. Building a more just, peaceful, and democratic society requires citizens who can think independently and engage thoughtfully with difficult questions.

This website is an evolving intellectual project. I am building it one article at a time, one essay at a time, one poem at a time-with the intention of creating lasting intellectual value rather than temporary digital noise.

The Vision for This Platform

Over time, I hope SanjayBism.com becomes:

  • A trusted resource for understanding Indian and global politics, where complexity is respected and evidence matters.

  • A space where political theory illuminates social reality, making abstract ideas relevant to lived experience.

  • An archive where complex ideas are explored with patience and care, not reduced to digestible soundbites.

  • A platform where academic rigour meets accessible writing, bridging the gap between scholarship and public discourse.

  • A community of readers who value thoughtful engagement over quick judgments, substance over spectacle, and understanding over certainty.

If this space helps you pause, question assumptions, or see familiar realities with greater depth-then it serves its purpose.
