His ideals have inspired diverse social and political movements across the world: \u003ci\u003eagainst \u003c\/i\u003eapartheid in South Africa, racial segregation in the United States, several state policies and actions in India and nuclear weaponisation, and \u003ci\u003efor \u003c\/i\u003eenvironmental sustainability and world peace. Hence, a pertinent question is often raised by media and academia: How would Gandhi have responded to the contemporary Indian and global situation marked by ethnic conflicts, terrorism, economic insecurity under the dominance of a global neo-liberal economic order and moral degeneration in private and public lives? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddressing this question in this volume through critical and variant re-readings of \u003ci\u003eHind Swaraj\u003c\/i\u003e (1909), his key manifesto of socio-political transformation, social scientists, political philosophers and social activists seek to establish a social and academic dialogue with Gandhi, interrogating his thoughts, values and vision, and examining their relevance to present-day problems. In spotlight is a contentious issue: the relationship between modernity and emancipation of subalterns, in the light of his critique of modern civilisation, the central thesis of the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to those in Gandhian studies, political science, history, philosophy, sociology, development studies, as well as activists, policy makers and the lay reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246125207896,"sku":"9780415662109","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415662109_6710c2a7-ba8d-4cff-acca-35dec903bc62.jpg?v=1769735733","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/re-reading-hind-swaraj","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
