 Free Download P.R. Kumaraswamy, "Squaring the Circle: Mahatma Gandhi and the Jewish National Home" English | ISBN: 0367530570 | 2020 | 234 pages | EPUB | 958 KB The centrality of the book is Gandhi's disposition and orientation towards the idea of Jewish homeland. When it comes to Jews, Jewish nationalism and their aspirations in Palestine, even Mahatma Gandhi was not infallible. His abiding empathy for the Jews was negated by his limited understanding of Judaism and Jewish history. His perception of the Palestine issue and his support for the Arabs was rooted in the domestic Indian context. The conventional understanding that Gandhi was 'consistently' opposed to Zionism and the Jewish aspirations for a national home in Palestine does not correspond with his later remarks. While demanding Jewish non-violence both against Hitler and in Palestine, Mahatma was prepared to understand, the 'excesses' of the Arabs who were facing 'overwhelming odds.' His position on the domestic situation largely influenced his stand viz-à-viz Palestine and hence his demand for Jews to abandon their collaboration with imperialism and follow the path of negotiation should be read within the Indian context. So long as India pursued a recognition-without-relations policy toward Israel, one could rest on Gandhi's shoulders and adopt a self-righteous attitude. However, can one rely on the Gandhian paradigm to explain India's new-found bonhomie toward Israel without sounding selective, hypocritical or both?  Free Download M.J.

In this path-breaking work, Bidyut Chakrabarty argues that there is a confluence between Gandhi and King's concerns for humanity and advocacy of non-violence, despite the very different historical, economic and cultural circumstances against which they developed their ideas. At the same time, he demonstrates that both thinkers were truly shaped by their historical moments, evolving their approaches to non-violence to best advance their respective struggles for freedom. Gandhi and King were perhaps the most influential individuals in modern history to combine religious and political thought into successful and dynamic social ideologies. Gandhi emphasized service to humanity while King, who was greatly influenced by Gandhi, pursued religion-driven social action. Chakrabarty looks particularly at the way in which each strategically used religious and political language to build momentum and attract followers to their movements. The result is a compelling and historically entrenched view of two of the most important figures of the twentieth century and a thoughtful meditation on the common threads that flow through the larger and enduring nonviolence movement.  Free Download Becoming Gandhi: My Experiment Living the Mahatma's 6 Moral Truths in Immoral Times by Perry Garfinkel English | January 30th, 2024 | ISBN: 1683646924 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 0.60 MB The fascinating quest of a New York Times contributor to follow Mahatma Gandhi's code of ethics in modern times-and to discover what it actually takes to "Be the change you want to see in the world"  Free Download Gandhi Before India By Guha,Ramachandra 2014 | 672 Pages | ISBN: 0385532296 | EPUB | 15 MB Here is the first volume of a magisterial biography of Mohandas Gandhi that gives us the most illuminating portrait we have had of the life, the work and the historical context of one of the most abidingly influential--and controversial--men in modern history. Ramachandra Guha--hailed by Time as "Indian democracy's preeminent chronicler"--takes us from Gandhi's birth in 1869 through his upbringing in Gujarat, his two years as a student in London and his two decades as a lawyer and community organizer in South Africa. Guha has uncovered myriad previously untapped documents, including private papers of Gandhi's contemporaries and co-workers; contemporary newspapers and court documents; the writings of Gandhi's children; and secret files kept by British Empire functionaries. Using this wealth of material in an exuberant, brilliantly nuanced and detailed narrative, Guha describes the social, political and personal worlds inside of which Gandhi began the...  Free Download Raghav Sharan Sharma, "Gandhi : X - Rayed" English | 2021 | ASIN: B08V93GP25 | EPUB | pages: 263 | 0.3 mb Is there some value to the legacy of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) in the twenty-first century? Do his philosophy and practices have any relevance today? He has been widely advertised and remained controversial in his lifetime and still remains so. In this book, we will try to search all these aspects including his weakness for women, his theory of brahmacharya, his role in the partition of India and all the myths that were deliberately woven around him by a group of people for their own benefit disregarding our motherland India. Gandhi was a complex, full of contradictions and opposites character. The question is how to understand Gandhi who is hidden "behind the mask of Mahatma". To begin, we will take a closer look at the propaganda machine of Gandhi erected by Miss Slade (Mirabehn), Ghanshyam Das Birla, Dalmia, Jamnalal Bajaj, Amba Lal, and Britishers. We should unveil his participation in Zulu War, Boer War and First World War in favour of the British and assess the intent and content of his non-violence and denial of science, his passive loyalist satyagraha and his tactical racism. His under-pragmatic and hidden facets need to be explored. Ambedkar called his politics hollow and noisy. Subhas Chandra Bose recognized him as a loyalist and compromiser with the British Raj. Veer Savarkar assailed him for his so-called Ahimsa, absolutism, his fetish for goat's milk, and charkha.  Free Download Reba Som, "Gandhi, Bose, Nehru, and the making of the modern Indian mind" English | 2004 | pages: 271 | ISBN: 0670058009 | PDF | 44,3 mb This intellectual history of twentieth-century Indian nationalist thought examines the relationship between three key figures of modern Indian history and the influence their ideas had in the shaping of society and politics in independent India. As leaders of the anti-imperialist struggle, Gandhi, Bose and Nehru not only devised various strategies to overthrow colonial rule, but also grappled with vital issues-democracy, federalism, secularism, social justice, gender equality, modernity, national identity and international relations-regarding the future of India. They responded to the challenge of the 'modernizing' mission of the West by going through a process of self-scrutiny, introspection and reform. At the same time, they had to formulate programmes within the constraints of political consensus to advance their respective visions of a modern, progressive and independent India.

Free Download Uma Majmudar, "Gandhi and Rajchandra: The Making of the Mahatma " English | ISBN: 1793611998 | 2020 | 132 pages | PDF | 610 KB Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest influencers in the world, was himself influenced by trailblazing thinkers and writers like Tolstoy, Ruskin, Thoreau, and others-each one contributing significantly to his moral and spiritual development. Yet only a few people know the most consequential person to have played a pivotal role in the making of the Mahatma: Shrimad Rajchandra. About the unparalleled influence of this person, Gandhi himself wrote: "I have met many a religious leader or teacher... and I must say that no one else ever made on me the impression that Raychandbhai did." |
