In an introduction to the December 2017 ''Women Philosophers' Journal'' guest-edited by Dwivedi, Barbara Cassin wrote Dwivedi belonging to the [[Brahmin]] caste "makes her therefore “untouchable”, in a totally different sense than the [[dalit]]s, the “untouchables”. Untouchable in a very relative sense, for even in the higher castes the woman intellectual is not worth the man intellectual. She is a philosopher and a literary scholar, English is her mother tongue as much as Hindi, and she found herself compelled to reflect on what postcolonial is, what it serves in the subcontinent, and what it is in the name of."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cassin |first1=Barbara |title=Issue N° 4-5: Intellectuals, Philosophers, Women in India: Endangered Species |url=http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/resources/periodicals/women-philosophers-journal/issue-n-4-5/ |access-date=28 October 2022 |work=Women Philosophers’ Journal |date=December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190722053854/http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/resources/periodicals/women-philosophers-journal/issue-n-4-5/ |archive-date=22 July 2019}}</ref>
=== ''Gandhi and Philosophy: On Theological Anti-politics'' ===
{{Main|Gandhi and Philosophy: On Theological Anti-politics}}
In 2018, Dwivedi co-authored ''[[Gandhi and Philosophy: On Theological Anti-politics]]'' with the philosopher [[Shaj Mohan]]. The book examines different aspects of [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s thought from a new philosophical system.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Philosophy for Another Time; Towards a Collective Political Imagination|url=http://positionspolitics.org/episteme-4/|access-date=2021-03-12|website=positions politics|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Jean-Luc Nancy]] wrote the foreword to ''Gandhi and Philosophy'' and said that it gives a new orientation to philosophy which is neither metaphysics nor hypophysics.<ref name="auto6">{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/article/933644/what-different-theories-of-philosophy-tell-us-about-gandhis-experiments-with-truth|title=Book Excerpt: What different theories of philosophy tell us about Gandhi's experiments with truth|website=[[Scroll.in]]|date=13 August 2019 }}</ref>
''The Book Review'' said that the philosophical project of ''Gandhi and Philosophy'' is to create new evaluative categories, "the authors, in engaging with Gandhi's thought, create their categories, at once descriptive and evaluative" while pointing to the difficulty given by the rigour of a "seminal if difficult read for those with an appetite for philosophy".<ref name="auto3">{{Cite web|url=http://thebookreviewindia.org/philosophizing-gandhi/|title=Philosophizing Gandhi|last=Tankha|first=V|website=The Book Review}}</ref> [[Robert Bernasconi]] writes, "It is a challenging book to read. Familiar words that you think you understand the meaning of are used incongruously and only as you read through the book and come across occurrence after occurrence of these words do you get a new understanding of what that word might now mean. Similarly, they adopt words that seem to be new words, that are certainly new to me, and then slowly as one reads the book one comes to recognise what one can do with language."<ref name="Bernasconi 2021"/> According to J. Reghu in a review for ''The Wire'', the book "often reads like a thriller, but at times it demands careful attention, which is not surprising since it is an original work in philosophy already recognised by some of the important contemporary philosophers such as Nancy, Stiegler and Bernasconi."<ref name="auto7">{{Cite web|url=https://thewire.in/books/gandhi-and-philosophy-book-review|title=Gandhi as Chrysalis for a New Philosophy|website=[[The Wire (Indian web publication)|The Wire]]}}</ref>
In a review for ''[[The Hindu]]'', Tridip Suhrud describes the book as "subversive but deeply affectionate" and writes that the authors, "through their doubt affirm Gandhi as a serious philosopher for our times and beyond."<ref name="auto82">{{Cite news |last=Suhrud |first=Tridip |date=2019-08-17 |title='Gandhi and Philosophy – On Theological Anti-Politics' review: Leap of faith |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/books/books-reviews/gandhi-and-philosophy-on-theological-anti-politics-review-leap-of-faith/article29118506.ece}}</ref> In a review for ''[[The Indian Express]]'', Raj Ayyar stated, "Mohan and Dwivedi have done a masterful job of avoiding the binary fork — hagiography or vituperation — as much of Gandhi and hagiography comes from a need to spiritualise Gandhi".<ref name="ayyar1">{{Cite news|last=Ayyar|first=Raj|title=Bending the binary|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/bending-the-binary-gandhi-and-philosophy-5952328}}</ref>{{verify inline|date=December 2023|reason=Speculative fix for undefined reference}} Cynthia Chandran, writing for the ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' noted that the "book reveals a materialist, internationalist Gandhiji who develops the ultimate revolutionary political program".<ref name="Chronicle 2019">{{cite web |last=Chronicle |first=Deccan |date=2019-02-11 |title=New book rubbishes BJP aim to assimilate Gandhi |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/110219/new-book-rubbishes-bjp-aim-to-assimilate-gandhi.html |access-date=2023-12-20 |website=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref>
===Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics===
''Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics'' is a book Divya Dwivedi co-authored with [[Shaj Mohan]], published by [[C. Hurst & Co.|Hurst Publishers]] in the United Kingdom and Westland for India in 2024.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=An Anthology of Anti-Caste Essays and the Question of Who Gets to Kill Whom |url=https://thewire.in/books/an-anthology-of-anti-caste-essays-and-the-question-of-who-gets-to-kill-whom |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=thewire.in}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite book |last1=Dwivedi |first1=Divya |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gVwBEQAAQBAJ |title=Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics |last2=Mohan |first2=Shaj |date=2024-04-11 |publisher=Hurst Publishers |isbn=978-1-80526-174-2 |language=en}}</ref> It was introduced, edited, and annotated with a philosophical [[glossary]] by Maël Montévil who is a theoretical biologist and philosopher of science working at the [[École normale supérieure (Paris)|École normale supérieure, Paris]]. The book is a collection of essays and interviews that deal with topics including the theoretical basis for caste oppression, Hindu nationalism, [[philosophy of history]] and [[revolution]]. Henrik Schedin said in Parabol Magazine that this book radically transforms the way India and Indian politics are understood.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Religion döljer klass i Narendra Modis Indien |url=https://www.parabol.press/religion-doljer-klass-i-narendra-modis-indien/ |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=Parabol |language=sv-SE}}</ref>
The review in [[Contemporary Political Theory]] focused on the global implications and the theoretical aspects of Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution. The complicity of “western academia” in “a new global system of exploitation” is a theme in the book. As per ''Contemporary Political Theory'', “Western academia (not just philosophy) should listen today if it wants to be prepared for tomorrow.”<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Perica |first=Ivana |date=2024-10-03 |title=Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41296-024-00727-8 |journal=Contemporary Political Theory |language=en |doi=10.1057/s41296-024-00727-8 |issn=1476-9336}}</ref>
Lakshmi Subramanian in her review for [[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] and other reviewers summarised the political arguments of the book as against “upper caste supremacism” of all kinds.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Subramanian |first=Lakshmi |date=12 July 2024 |title=A courageous scrutiny |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/amp/culture/books/a-courageous-scrutiny-this-collection-of-essays-short-pieces-and-interviews-is-an-exercise-in-exemplary-courage-the-courage-to-call-out-the-authoritarianism-of-the-regime-and-the-inequities-of-cast/cid/2033160 |access-date=14 July 2024 |work=The Telegraph India}}</ref> Subramanian wrote that ''Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution'' calls out the construction of Hindu religion in the 20th century by the upper castes of India as a ploy to hide lower caste majority and suppress their desire to come to power. Through the category of Hindu religion “upper caste supremacism that was able to effectively control and dominate subaltern society”. She added that “caste lines permeated all religions in the subcontinent”.
The theoretical framework of the book goes beyond the Indian context as [[Slavoj Žižek]] said that it is a “required reading for anyone who wants to understand the precipice toward which our entire world is heading ... a book for everyone who seriously wants to think”.<ref>{{Cite web |title=An Anthology of Anti-Caste Essays and the Question of Who Gets to Kill Whom |url=https://thewire.in/books/an-anthology-of-anti-caste-essays-and-the-question-of-who-gets-to-kill-whom |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=thewire.in}}</ref> [[Robert Bernasconi]] said that the world should “listen and learn” from it since “Not since the days of [[Jean-Paul Sartre|Sartre]] has philosophy addressed political issues with the directness and clarity that Dwivedi and Mohan”.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution {{!}} Hurst Publishers |url=https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/indian-philosophy-indian-revolution/ |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=HURST |language=en-GB}}</ref>
The revolutionary core of the book was noted in a review in The Wire as “committed to the revolutionary anti-caste project” and that its goal is to lead the lower caste majority to political power in all areas of life.<ref name=":1" /> [[Mathrubhumi]] stated that it was a book of revolutionary theory and is a “call for an unambiguous rise to power in all areas of political and social life from the Dalit-Bahujan majority through an understanding of a revolutionary theory”.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2024-06-08 |title=Dissecting the politics of caste {{!}} Book review |url=https://english.mathrubhumi.com/amp/features/books/book-review-of-indian-philosophy-indian-revolution-on-caste-and-politics-1.9621316 |access-date=2024-06-27 |website=English.Mathrubhumi}}</ref> The review by Aarushi Punia in Maktoob Media credited the book with producing the concepts and theoretical tools to diagnose caste oppression, to form a majority and it is “imagining a way in which lower castes, who affirmatively form over 90% of the population, can seize power”.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Punia |first=Aarushi |date=2024-04-25 |title=Polynomial Politics: Imagining India as a Country Led by Lower Castes |url=https://maktoobmedia.com/more/bookshelf/polynomial-politics-imagining-india-as-a-country-led-by-lower-castes/ |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=Maktoob media |language=en-US}}</ref> The theory of history in the book was described by The Wire as a new model for [[historiography]] without recourse to “ancestral models” such as would be the “Aryan doctrine”. Jérôme Lèbre wrote in a long form essay for the French journal AOC Media that the book's concepts and arguments are related to the other works of the authors. It shows the development of concepts and political strategies for theoretically discussing caste oppression side by side.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lèbre |first=Jérôme |date=2024-05-09 |title=En finir avec l'hindouisme, révolutionner l'Inde : la philosophie de Divya Dwivedi et Shaj Mohan - AOC media |url=https://aoc.media/analyse/2024/05/09/en-finir-avec-lhindouisme-revolutionner-linde-la-philosophie-de-divya-dwivedi-et-shaj-mohan/ |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=AOC media - Analyse Opinion Critique |language=fr-FR}}</ref>
== Public commentary==
In addition to her authored and edited books, Dwivedi has written and co-written essays and articles, as well as spoken publicly about her scholarship.
In 2019, Dwivedi participated in a debate on [[NDTV]] about [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and politics;<ref name="Raveendran 2022"/> discussing caste, she described how — in her opinion — in the early 20th century, upper-caste Hindu leaders invented an all-encompassing Hinduism to obfuscate the numerical preponderance of lower caste people in India and construct a false majority.<ref name="Ballas 2023">{{Cite web |last=Ballas |first=Anthony |date=2023-10-05 |title=Philosopher Divya Dwivedi Among Latest Targets of India's Right Wing |url=https://proteanmag.com/2023/10/05/philosopher-divya-dwivedi-among-latest-targets-of-indias-right-wing/ |access-date=2023-11-15 |website=Protean Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="Sharma 2019">{{cite news |last1=Sharma |first1=Kritika |date=7 October 2019 |title=IIT-Delhi faculty calls Hindu religion a 20th century invention, triggers controversy |work=[[ThePrint]] |url=https://theprint.in/india/iit-delhi-faculty-hindu-religion-20th-century-invention-controversy/302088/ |access-date=18 November 2023}}</ref> A clip of the video circulated widely, and Dwivedi received threats from the Hindu right.<ref name="Ballas 2023" /> Krithika Varagur, writing for the ''[[Los Angeles Review of Books]]'', noted her ideas to be inimical to the essence of Hindu nationalism which posited Hinduism as an eternal and perfect religion, beyond the constraints of history.<ref name="Varagur 2020" />
