为了确定我们进一步讨论的范围,我们可以回顾一下托克维尔在《美国的民主》一书中所作的研究。托氏的方法对我们是有益的,因为他的前提和命题接近以文化意义的标准来表现意识形态、社会和政治学的问题。他没有在上个世纪中期的法国和美国之间建立起完全的隔离和对立,对于20世纪末期的印度和美国之间我们也不需要这样做。如果他仍然对美国这个相对地说是个新民族的社会变迁的复杂性敏感的话,那么现在我们对印度必须保持同样的姿态。托氏既不是一个简单的归纳论者,也不是简单地歌颂,他始终坚持他研究的主要论题——美国民主与“平等的进步”。同样,研究印度也必须了解其复杂性和各种干扰,这种方法 To determine the scope of our further discussion, let us recall Tocqueville’s study in Democracy in America. The method of the Toshihs was useful to us because his premises and propositions approach the question of ideological, social, and political science as a matter of cultural significance. He did not establish complete isolation and antagonism between France and the United States in the middle of the last century, nor did we need to do so between India and the United States in the late twentieth century. If he is still sensitive to the complexity of the social transformation of the United States, which is relatively new nation, then we must now maintain the same attitude toward India. Tocski was neither a simple inductive nor a simple praise, he always adhere to the main topic of his study - American democracy and “equal progress.” Similarly, research in India also must understand its complexity and various kinds of interference with this approach
