Traveling India in the Age of Gandhi is a study of "armchair"
travel writers who journeyed to India during what has often been
termed the "Age of Gandhi," placed between 1914-1948. Most of the
travel writers surveyed understood this era to be a unique time in
world history-in India and elsewhere on the globe. The lingering
trauma of World War I, the rise of radical state ideologies in
Russia, Italy, Japan, and Germany, world-wide depression in the
1930s along with a host of other unsettling political, cultural,
and technological realities revealed a world of bewildering
complexity and uncertainty. For many of the travel writers surveyed
in this work, India was the main drama in a shifting global
landscape. Moreover, many viewed it as the ultimate travel
experience, a journey that tested one's capacity to fully engage
the earth's most compelling forms of human diversity and suffering.
Although a few notable figures are included, most of the authors in
the study constitute a breed of largely forgotten travel writers.
This work is an attempt to extract the core of their observations,
impressions, and conclusions concerning what they saw and
experienced, particularly concerning Indian aspirations for
independence and India as the world's most exotic human landscape.
