Re-reading Hind Swaraj

Modernity and Subalterns

Herausgeber: Shah, Ghanshyam

Beschreibung

Through critical re-readings of Hind Swaraj, this book examines whether Gandhi's thoughts, values and vision are relevant to understanding the contemporary socio-politico-economic situation, marked by ethnic conflicts, terrorism, economic insecurity and moral degeneration. In particular, it explores the relationship between modernity and emancipation of subalterns, in the light of his critique of modern civilisation.
