Written with passion, clarity, and a deep knowledge of Gandhi’s home region of Gujarat, this book provides a wonderfully fresh understanding of Gandhi and his relevance to the contemporary world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe argues that where as politicians usually garner support by demonizing those they oppose, Gandhi resisted such a politics with his whole being. He asserted that there are always grounds for a fruitful dialogues between opponents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow did Gandhi create this new form of politics? Hardiman shows its basic within Gandhi’s s larger vision of an alternative society base on mutual respect, lack of exploitation, non-violence, and ecological harmony. His politics constituted one of the many directions in which he sought to activate this peculiarly personal vision. The practice of such a politics entailed personal and institutional experiments in relation to his opponents, who ranged from British colonials to Indian advocates of violent resistance, from right-wing religious leaders and upholders of caste privilege to communists, socialists, and Dalits. Gandhi’s conflicts with all these are studied, as is his manner of conducting conflict s and working towards their resolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVarious key issues in Gandhi’s life and legacy are also examined. Gandhi’s sexuality and his programme for women are looked at in the light of Feminist critiques. Gandhi’s inconsistencies, mistakes and failures (for example as husband and father) are carefully scrutinizes. Hardiman’s effort is to show precisely how Gandhi, despite his limitations, provides a beacon for women and men because of the uncompromising honesty of his political life and moral activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree chapters look at Gandhi’s legacy in this respect, both in India and on the global stage. Figures who were inspired by Gandhi-Jayaprakash Narayan, Medha Patkar, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Petra Kelly are discussed. Gandhi’s influence on a series of new social movements –by environmentalists, anti-war campaigners, feminists, human rights activists and others-are closely examined in order to assess his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION: The Gandhian Dialogic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAN INCORPORATIVE NATIONALISM\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForging a Nationalist Hegemony\u003cbr\u003eThe Disciplined Nation\u003cbr\u003eInvented Histories of the Nation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIALOGIC RESISTANCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePopular Forms of Mass Resistance in India\u003cbr\u003eSatyagraha\u003cbr\u003eIndividual Conscience\u003cbr\u003eAhimsa\u003cbr\u003eSatyagraha Within the Indian Polity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAN ALTERNATIVE MODERNITY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHind Swaraj\u003cbr\u003eA Gandhian Civilisation\u003cbr\u003eThe Constructive Programme\u003cbr\u003eGandhi, Socialism, and the Doctrine of Trusteeship\u003cbr\u003eThe Gandhian Critique Beyond India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFATHER OF THE NATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGandhi’s Family Life\u003cbr\u003eGandhi and Sexual Desire\u003cbr\u003eMarriage and Patriarchy\u003cbr\u003eWomen and Satyagraha\u003cbr\u003eThe Critique of Patriarchy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDALIT AND ADIVASI ASSERTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDalits \u003cbr\u003eAdivasis\u003cbr\u003eDalits, Adivasis, and the Indian Nation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFIGHTING RELIGIOUS HATREDS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGandhi, Muslims, and Hindu Nationalists\u003cbr\u003eThe National Duty of the Hindu Patriot\u003cbr\u003eGandhi and Christianity\u003cbr\u003ePartition and Gandhi’s Finest Hour\u003cbr\u003eGandhian Anti-Communal Work Since Independence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGANDHIAN ACTIVISM IN INDIA AFTER INDEPENDENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bhoodan and Gramdan Movements\u003cbr\u003eThe Naxalite Alternative\u003cbr\u003eThe JP Movement\u003cbr\u003eJP’s Total Revolution\u003cbr\u003eThe Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Vahini\u003cbr\u003eWomen and Anti-Liquor Movements in India\u003cbr\u003eVahini and Women’s Rights\u003cbr\u003eChipko Andolan\u003cbr\u003eNarmada Bachao Andolan\u003cbr\u003eGandhian Activism Since 1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGANDHI’S GLOBAL LEGACY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome Contemporary Western Reactions\u003cbr\u003eGandhi and the Pacifist Movement\u003cbr\u003eGandhian Resistance on a World Stage\u003cbr\u003eThe African-American Struggle in the USA \u003cbr\u003eThe Revolt Against Apartheid in South Africa\u003cbr\u003ePetra Kelly and the German Greens\u003cbr\u003eThe Moral Activists Lonely Path to Martyrdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"David Hardiman \/ Permanent Black \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153661981040,"sku":"11258","price":46.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/11258.jpg?v=1793912230","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/gandhi-in-his-time-and-ours","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
