This volume explores the scope and limits of Mahatma Gandhi's moral
politics and its implications for Indian and other freedom
movements. It presents a set of enlightening essays based on
lectures delivered in memory of the eminent historian B. R. Nanda
along with a new introductory essay. With contributions by leading
historians and Gandhi scholars, the book provides new perspectives
on the limits of Gandhi's moral reasoning, his role in the choice
of destination by Indian Muslim refugees, his waning influence over
political events, and his predicament amid the violence and turmoil
in the years immediately preceding partition. The work brings
together wide-ranging insights on Gandhi and revisits his religious
views, which were the foundation of his morality in politics; his
experience of civil disobedience and its nature, deployment and
limits; Satyagraha and non-violence; and his struggle for civil
rights. The volume also examines how Gandhi's South African phase
contributed to his later ideas on private property and
self-sacrifice. This book will be of immense interest to
researchers and scholars of modern Indian history, Gandhi studies,
political science, peace and conflict studies, South Asian studies;
to researchers and scholars of media and journalism; and to the
informed general reader.
