Soul Force: Gandhi

M.K. Gandhi Edited by V. Geetha Mahatma Gandhi led a lifelong search for social peace and political non-violence. Committed to dialogue across classes, cultures and faiths, his life and politics stand testimony to a remarkable civic life, which valued restraint, tolerance and transparency above all else. This book historicizes his earnest and provocative writings – on the bomb, Zionism and Palestine, the partition of India – showing his ideas maturing over time into a unique model of public action. REVIEWS V. Geetha guides the reader through the dense complexity of this remarkable undertaking in a lucid fashion… She offers the reader not only the life from which Gandhi’s ideas arose, but also a concise social and political history of the period. - The New Sunday Express Gandhi needs to be interpreted periodically in the light of newly emerging concerns and the attending questions they raise. He needs to be introduced in a language the young scholars will understand. Geetha does this effectively. Soul Force will generate a new interest in the ideas of Gandhi. Amidst the massive quantity of Gandhiana available, she succeeds in making an impact. - The Hindu Literary Review Political Science / History Paperback • 197 x 127mm 464 pages All rights available £8.99 / $11.95 / Rs.300
