The author analyses with authority and objectivity several relevant issues: the evolution of Gandhi's personality and thought, his approach to religion, the caste system and the racial problem, his struggle against colonial rule, his attitudes to events leading to the partition of India, his social and economic thought, his doctrine of non-violence, etc. It not only does justice to the memory of an extraordinary man, but also shows his relevance for India and the world today.
This is being reissued in the Oxford India Paperbacks format for the first time.
