‘I am not anti-English; I am not anti-British; I am not anti-any government; but I am anti-untruth—anti-humbug and anti-injustice.’
Father of the Nation, Satyagrahi, the Crusader of Truth—no matter how much is written about Gandhi, there is always something new to learn about the man and his many ideas.
Within four years of his return to India from South Africa, Gandhi had become the most famous—as well as the most controversial—person in a subcontinent with a population of over 300 million. This only goes to prove the power of his ideas and the effect of his charisma.
In ‘The Multiple Agendas of Gandhi’, Ramachandra Guha looks at some of Gandhi’s most radical ideas and how he executed them so that they have remained in the psyche of this country to this day. Read on.
