      abstract = {"Even today, six decades after his assassination in  January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi is still revered as the father  of the Indian nation. His intellectual and moral legacy,  encapsulated in works such as Hind Swaraj, as well as the  example of his life and politics serve as an inspiration to  human rights and peace movements, political activists, and  students in classroom discussions throughout the world.  This book, comprised of essays by renowned experts in the  fields of Indian history and philosophy, traces Gandhi's  extraordinary story. The first part of the book, the  biography, explores his transformation from a small-town  lawyer during his early life in South Africa into a skilled  political activist and leader of civil resistance in India.  The second part is devoted to Gandhi's key writings and his  thinking on a broad range of topics, including religion,  conflict, politics, and social relations. The final part  reflects on Gandhi's image, how he has been portrayed in  literature and film, and on his legacy in India, the West,  and beyond"--Provided by publisher.},
