About the Book :
Gandhi was a unique and iconic personality. He changed the course of history and gave world a non-violent technique of protest, change, liberation and transformation. Gandhi put ancient wisdom in modern form. Gandhi made history, and set the agenda for generations to come. Gandhi was a great man in every sense and many ways. His concerns were contemporary but timeless and borderless. Gandhi changed the world he lived in and gave new direction to what is now known as Swaraj. Gandhi is so much an inseparable part of our modern history that we cannot imagine Indian history without him. Gandhi worked all through his life to liberate India from British colonialism; but this mission of his was only a part of a larger and more encompassing mission of liberating humanity from the mythos that grip its soul, mind, and body. Gandhi tried to solve problems as they arose, following the law of Truth (morality), keeping in view the cultural background of the people, and good of the society at large. Presently, every discourse in Social Science starts and ends with Gandhi. Now Gandhi is at the centre stage in major global discussions. ‘Gandhi in Modern World’ covers all of his ideas and addresses to a wide range of readers in the field of social science, humanities and Gandhian Studies.
