Abstract

Gandhi est une des figures politiques les plus marquantes du xxe siècle. Alors que sa vie n'a cessé d'alimenter de nombreuses controverses, celles-ci semblent souvent s'être évaporées sous la plume de ses biographes succombant aisément à l'hagiographie. Le présent ouvrage, qui se veut à la fois synthétique et critique, analyse la vie, la pensée et l'œuvre de Gandhi. Dans une première partie, les étapes marquantes de sa vie seront retracées en mettant en exergue la force, mais aussi les ambiguïtés de ses actions. La seconde partie se focalisera sur la pensée de Gandhi : ses idées sur la religion, la politique, l'action sociale, la caste, la non-violence, les femmes et la sexualité seront examinées parmi d'autres. C'est un Gandhi à la fois plus humain et plus complexe qui se révélera au cours de ces pages ; loin d'être tarie, sa pensée ne se laisse pas enfermer dans des formules insipides et elle continuera d'influencer de nombreuses personnalités pour longtemps encore.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to understand the complex evolution of the socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King and also their confluence in the specific context of India and America respectively. Based on a threadbare analysis of socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King, the book argues that the moral politics of redemptive love and non-violence that they consistently pursued represents an appealing vision for the present century.

Abstract

As a precocious young girl, Surekha knew very little about the details of her mother Amma’s unusual past and that of Babu, her mysterious and sometimes absent father. The tense, uncertain family life created by her parents’ distant and fractious marriage and their separate ambitions informs her every action and emotion. Then one evening, in a moment of uncharacteristic transparency and vulnerability, Amma tells Surekha and her older sister Didi of the family tragedy that changed the course of her life. Finally, her daughters begin to understand the source of their mother’s deep commitment to the Indian nationalist movement and her seemingly unending willingness to sacrifice in the name of that pursuit. In this re-memory based on the published and unpublished work of Amma and Surekha, Meenal Shrivastava, Surekha’s daughter, uncovers the history of the female foot soldiers of Gandhi’s national movement in the early twentieth century. As Meenal weaves these written accounts together with archival research and family history, she gives voice and honour to the hundreds of thousands of largely forgotten or unacknowledged women who, threatened with imprisonment for treason and sedition, relentlessly and selflessly gave toward the revolution.

Abstract

The author sees Gandhi, in his writings and his life, as offering the most profound and influential theory, philosophy, and engaged practices of ahimsa. Embracing Gandhi's insightful critiques of modernity, the work sees his approach as a creative and challenging catalyst to rethink our positions today.
