Gandhi was perhaps the most influential yet misunderstood figure of
the twentieth century. Drawing close attention to his last years,
this book explores the marked change in his understanding of the
acceptance of non-violence by Indians. It points to a startling
discovery Gandhi made in the years preceding India's Independence
and Partition: the struggle for freedom which he had all along
believed to be non-violent was in fact not so. He realised that
there was a causal relationship between the path of illusory
ahimsa, which had held sway during the freedom struggle, and the
violence that erupted thereafter during Partition. In the second
edition of this much-acclaimed volume, Chandra revisits Gandhi's
philosophy to explain how and why the phenomenon of the Mahatma has
been understood and misunderstood through the years. Calling for a
rethink of the very nature and foundation of modern India, this
book throws new light on Gandhian philosophy and its far-reaching
implications for the world today. It will interest not only
scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, politics and
philosophy, but also lay readers.
