      abstract = {This book addresses the human civilizational ethos and  explores the concept of the nonkilling paradigm concerning  human dignity, human rights, affirmative nonkilling,  positive peace and the advancement of human existence. It  focuses on the complex question of how to mitigate the  prevalent lethal actions and lay out a roadmap for a  large-scale transformation of global society into a  nonkilling one. It examines the lives of charismatic  socio-political leaders who have played a vital role in  achieving revolutions in their respective contexts and  societies, and studies these revolutions from a nonkilling  perspective, investigating the number of human lives lost,  both during and after the revolution, due to deliberate  actions on the part of leaders. In closing, it assesses the  global status quo and current trends and presents a Global  Nonkilling Index to record deliberate killings around the  world. The book is a significant addition to the  literature, specifically in the field of reinterpreting  Gandhian concepts in the light of contemporary needs. Given  its scope, the book is of immense value to researchers and  practitioners in the areas of political science,  philosophy, sociology & peace studies. Moreover, it is a  must-read for everyone interested in promoting global  nonviolence, nonkilling & peace.},
