Gandhi and Revolution

This volume is a collection of Devi Prasads essays on Gandhi, social justice and social change. The different essays address themes ranging from Gandhis ideals of satyagraha and ahimsa, civil disobedience and non-violence, to the Gandhian approach to education as founded in making and crafting as well as participation in the political and social movements of our times. They also engage the revolutionary potential of Gandhis thought, drawing parallels between Lenin and Gandhi and analysing the historical significance of Gandhis anti-imperialist yet non-violent political philosophy. In sum, the volume dwells on the continuing, critical relevance of Gandhi in our times. It will be of interest to those in education, political science, peace and conflict studies, history and philosophy, as well as to the general reader interested in Gandhian thought.
