Mahatma K. Gandhi's dedication to finding a path of liberation from
an epidemic of violence has been well documented before. The
central issue and the novelty of this book is its focus on what
Gandhi wanted to liberate us for. The book also provides an
assessment of how viable his positive vision of humanity is. Gandhi
revolutionized the struggle for Indian liberation from Great
Britain by convincing his countrymen that they must turn to
nonviolence and that India needed to be liberated from its social
ills-poverty, unemployment, opium addiction, institution of child
marriage, inequality of women, and Hindu-Muslim frictions-even more
than it needed political freedom. Although Gandhi's legacy has not
been forgotten, it has often been distorted. He is called "Mahatma"
and venerated as a saint, but not followed and often
misinterpreted. Predrag Cicovacki attempts to de-mythologize Gandhi
and take a closer look at his thoughts, aims, and struggles. He
invites us to look at the footprints Gandhi left for us, and follow
them as carefully and critically as possible. Cicovacki concludes
that Gandhi's spiritual vision of humanity and the importance of
adherence to truth (satyagraha)are his lasting legacy.
