Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest global icons of all times, is
known as much for his successful leadership of India's non-violent
anti-colonial freedom movement as for his virtue and simplicity.
His ideals have inspired diverse social and political movements
across the world: against apartheid in South Africa, racial
segregation in the United States, several state policies and
actions in India and nuclear weaponisation, and for environmental
sustainability and world peace. Hence, a pertinent question is
often raised by media and academia: How would Gandhi have responded
to the contemporary Indian and global situation marked by ethnic
conflicts, terrorism, economic insecurity under the dominance of a
global neo-liberal economic order and moral degeneration in private
and public lives? Addressing this question in this volume through
critical and variant re-readings of Hind Swaraj (1909), his key
manifesto of socio-political transformation, social scientists,
political philosophers and social activists seek to establish a
social and academic dialogue with Gandhi, interrogating his
thoughts, values and vision, and examining their relevance to
present-day problems. In spotlight is a contentious issue: the
relationship between modernity and emancipation of subalterns, in
the light of his critique of modern civilisation, the central
thesis of the text. This book will be of interest to those in
Gandhian studies, political science, history, philosophy,
sociology, development studies, as well as activists, policy makers
and the lay reader.
