During his campaign against racism in South Africa and his
involvement in the Congress-led nationalist struggle against
British colonial rule in India, Mahatma Gandhi developed a new form
of political struggle based on the idea of satyagraha or
non-violent protest. He ushered in a new era of nationalism in
India by articulating the nationalist protest in the language of
non-violence or ahisma that galvanized the masses into action.
"Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi "focuses on the
principles of satyagraha and non-violence, and the evolution of
these precepts in the context of anti-imperial movements organized
by Gandhi, looking at how these precepts underwent changes
reflecting the ideological beliefs of the participants. The book
focuses on the ways in which Gandhi took into account the views of
other leading personalities of the era whilst articulating his
theory of action, and assesses Gandhi and his ideology.
Concentrating on Gandhi's writings in Harijan the weekly newspaper
he founded, this volume offers a unique contextualized study of
Gandhi's social and political ideas.
