Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This volume focuses on Gandhi’s vision of Satyagraha, whereby one appeals to reason and conscience and puts an end to evil by converting the evil-doer. The book begins with an explanation of Satyagraha and proceeds with detailed discussions of self-training and courage necessary for Satyagraha; the use and effectiveness of such techniques as nonpayment of fines and taxes, social boycotts, fasting, sympathetic strikes, and other forms of noncooperation; and many other topics.
Book News Annotation:
An unabridged republication of the edition published by Navijivan
Trust, Amhedabad, in 1951 and Schocken Books in 1961. In 183
reprinted short articles and excerpts, Ghandi (1869-1948) sets out
the principles of what has been his most influential contribution to
religious and political thought. A philosophy of non-violence that
led to independence for India and was embraced by the American civil
rights movement, Satyagraha literally means holding on to the truth.
