Synopsis

"Contributes to current analyses of the health of liberal democracies." --Rajmohan Gandhi, author, Gandhi: The Man, His People, and the Empire

"An impressive contribution to Gandhian studies." --Bhikhu Parekh, author, Gandhi: A Very Short Introduction

Time and again, Mahatma Gandhi's life, work and philosophy have played pivotal roles in bringing positive change in society. Poorna Swaraj, through its reading of the Constructive Programme: Its Meaning and Place, opens a window to his vision of attaining real and complete independence or 'swaraj' for India. With his ideas on communal unity, prohibition, basic education, emancipation of women, advisasis' concerns, farmers' distress, removal of untouchability, demystification of leprosy, the role of khadi, charkha, village and small-scale industries, among others, this book brings to light Gandhi's road map for an egalitarian society.

This first critical edition, with a comprehensive contextual introduction by Dhananjay Rai, sets the backdrop for readers to understand Gandhi's thoughts on making an ideal society. Amazingly relevant and thought-provoking, Poorna Swaraj is a must-read for students and scholars of history, social science, politics and Gandhian studies. An invaluable companion for policymakers and general readers, this book is a treasure trove.
