Hind Swaraj is Mahatma Gandhi's fundamental work. Not only is it key to understanding his life and thoughts, but also the politics of South Asia in the first half of the twentieth century. Celebrating 100 years since Hind Swaraj was first published in a newspaper, this centenary edition includes a new Preface and Editor's Introduction, as well as a new chapter on 'Gandhi and the 'Four Canonical Aims of Life''. The volume presents a critical edition of the 1910 text of Hind Swaraj, fully annotated and including Gandhi's own Preface and Foreword (not found in other editions). Anthony J. Parel sets the work in its historical and political contexts and analyses the significance of Gandhi's experiences in England and South Africa. The second part of the volume contains some of Gandhi's other writings, including his correspondence with Tolstoy and Nehru.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. This edition of Hind Swaraj, with introductory essays by Dr.Usha Thakkar and Dr. Gita Dharampal, published in the 150th year of the Mahatma's birth anniversary, contains the 1910 English translation by Gandhi himself. Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule was written by M.K. Gandhi (1869-1948) in 1909. Composed originally in Gujarati, comprising 275 handwritten pages, this work contains the essence of his views, which he had developed in the course of the preceding decade or so. It includes his stance on modern civilisation and on nonviolence as a tool against oppression and subjugation. Hind Swaraj has served as a blueprint over the years for many who follow Gandhian principles. Although its relevance in today's troubled world may bedecided by the exigencies of the twenty-first century, Hind Swaraj remains seminal in the development of Gandhian thought. This book continues to provide valuable material for introspection and contemplation more than a hundred years after it was written. (jacket). Nº de ref. del artículo: 132228
