"This volume is an endeavour of the scholars to study the three major issues of humanity--terrorism, poverty and world peace. This work provides rich and variegated articles discussing the above issues and provides a framework for future of the humanity.
The book consists of three parts: the first part of the book is related to poverty eradication and technology in which it is very clear that Gandhi saw the tremendous need for the development of small scale technology that would increase the efficiency of rural production without creating any technological displacement of labour.
The second part of book dealing with terrorism and future of humanity shows that at such an hour the message of Gandhi is immensely important.
The third part of the book is about world peace. This part is also highlighting the fact that without developing non-violence strength world peace is not possible.
The contributors of this volume are well known social scientists from different disciplines. This book is relevant for the scholars and students of Gandhian studies, peace studies, political science and sociology." (jacket)
