Devi Prasad's aesthetic, political and social ideals were formed in close contact with Tagore and Gandhi in the 1940s, at a critical point of the independence movement. His passion for social justice, together with his extraordinary life as an artist-craftsman, shape these essays on Gandhi and social change.

The different essays address themes ranging from Gandhi's ideals of satyagraha and ahimsa, civil disobedience and non-violence, to the Gandhian approach to education as founded in making and crafting as well as participation in the political and social movements of our times.
