Gandhi after 9/11

Douglas Allen's central claim is Gandhi, when selectively appropriated and creatively reformulated and applied, is essential for formulating new positions that are more nonviolent and more sustainable. These provide resources and hope for dealing with our contemporary crises. Challenging us to consider nonviolent, moral, and truthful transformative alternatives today, the author presents Gandhi in the age of technology; after 9/11 and 26/11 terrorism; theBhagavad-Gita and Hind Swaraj; Vedanta; socialism; and marginality, caste, class, race, and oppressed others.
