Hind Swaraj by Mahatma Gandhi is arguably the greatest text to have
emerged from the anti-colonial movement in India and the first to
seriously challenge the cultural and civilizational premises of the
colonizers' mentality. It is also the first text in India that
falls within the broad tradition of modern political philosophy,
advancing a complex cluster of theses with conceptual sensitivity,
analytical precision, and sustained argument. This book critically
engages with Hind Swaraj and explores the fascinating and subtle
dialogue set up by Gandhi between the characters of the reader and
the editor. With essays from leading contemporary thinkers on
Gandhi, the volume looks at themes such as Gandhi on epistemic
servitude, decolonization, and intercultural translation; his
complex critique of modern civilization; his views on the empire,
democracy, citizenship, and violence; the normative structure of
Gandhian thought; Gandhi and the political praxis of educational
reconstruction; and how to read this text. An important
intervention in Gandhian studies, this book will be useful for
scholars and researchers of peace studies, political philosophy,
Indian philosophy, Indian political thought, political sociology,
and South Asian studies.
