The rebel-revolutionary was Metamorphosed into a Totally different kind of revolutionary.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGandhi was a dreamer, but also a man of action par excellence. His revolution was unique in that it had to be non-violent, and had, at every step, to be tested on ‘the touchstone of truth’. “Truth is God,” he declared. His enquiry pervaded all fields of life: food, agriculture, education, health, society, man-woman relationship, cottage industry, uplift of the downtrodden, religion, politics, struggle, and above all, human freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves deep into Gandhiji’s personality to understand his spiritual quest, which he insisted was an intrinsic part of his political activity. In a strikingly original chapter, Panna Babu examines Gandhi’s views in the light of Marxism, and Marxian thought and action from the Gandhian perspective. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe regrets that the Indian leftists failed to recognize Gandhi as a true revolutionary and an incomparable leader of the Indian masses. That was a historical blunder. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEntire chapters are devoted to Gandhiji’s relationship with Rabindranath Tagore, and with Subhas Bose; as also to his views on Hindu-Muslim unity, constructive programme, economics and ethics, and trusteeship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, the issue of Gandhism – and whether there is something as Gandhism – is incisively discussed, including the relevance of Gandhi in modern times. Doubtless, he raised many fundamental questions to which no ideology or ‘ism’ has yet been able to furnish a satisfactory answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword to the Bengali First Edition by Pannalal Dasgupta \u003cbr\u003eForeword to the Bengali Second Edition by Pannalal Dasgupta \u003cbr\u003eTranslator’s Introduction by K V Shyamali Khastagir \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tGandhi and Truth \u003cbr\u003e2.\tGandhi, God and Religion \u003cbr\u003e3.\tAhimsa (Non – Violence) \u003cbr\u003e4.\tSatyagraha \u003cbr\u003e5.\tSatyagraha vs. Duragraha \u003cbr\u003e6.\tConstructive Programme \u003cbr\u003e7.\tHindu-Muslim Unity \u003cbr\u003e8.\tCharkha, Cottage Industry, Swadeshi etc. \u003cbr\u003e9.\tEconomics and Ethics \u003cbr\u003e10.\tNai Talim (New Education) \u003cbr\u003e11.\tGandhi and Rabindranath \u003cbr\u003e12.\tGandhi and Subhas Bose \u003cbr\u003e13.\tHarijans, Adivasis and Workers \u003cbr\u003e14.\tTrusteeship \u003cbr\u003e15.\tUplift of Indian Women \u003cbr\u003e16.\tGandhi and the Individual \u003cbr\u003e17.\tGandhi and History \u003cbr\u003e18.\tGandhism \u003cbr\u003eEpilogue \u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Pannalal Dasgupta \/ Earthcare Book \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153498272112,"sku":"31104","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/31104.jpg?v=1793910431","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/revolutionary-gandhi","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
