"In the present state of affairs, world is in search of an alternative. Gandhian alternative can provide solution to contemporary problems such as unemployment, unequal distribution of wealth, violation of human rights, terrorism and poverty. Gandhian alternative are echoed everywhere. In this present endeavour an attempt has been made to reinterpret Gandhian thought leaving apart the historical Gandhi.
Gandhism is a living thought. With the passage of time Gandhism is becoming more and more relevant with its use of moral principles in each and very walks of life.
This volume seeks to provide a new insight to the reader for understanding Gandhian thought and its relevance in the era of liberalization, privatization and globalization.
The book will be very useful to the researchers, policy makers, students of Gandhian thought, peace studies and political science." (jacket)
