Sinopsis

This book maps the genesis and development of GandhiâÇÖs idea of non-violence. It traces the evolution of the message of peace from its first expressions in South Africa to GandhiâÇÖs later campaigns against British rule in India, most prominently the Salt March campaign of 1930. It argues that GandhiâÇÖs blueprint for change must be adopted in the present, as the world craters on the precipice of catastrophic climate change, and the threat of nuclear war hangs over our heads.A timely book for uncertain times, this work is a reminder of the value of peace in the 21st century. It will be of great interest to readers,áscholars and researchers of peace and conflict studies, politics, philosophy, history and South Asian studies.
