Gandhi Today: A Report on India's Gandhi Movement and Its Experiments in Nonviolence and Small Scale Alternatives (25th Anniversary Edition)

The Gandhian Tradition in India After Mahatma Gandhi's Death is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the legacy of one of the 20th century's greatest peacemakers and revolutionaries.

This book delves into the lives of individuals, groups, and movements that continued Gandhi's philosophy and methods, even after his death in 1948. From an acclaimed saint who collected over four million acres in gifts of land for the poor, to a leader of a nationwide protest movement that helped topple India's ruling party in the mid-1970s, this book reveals the incredible impact Gandhi's teachings continue to have on Indian society. Discover how a "Hug the Trees!" movement physically blocked excessive logging in the Himalayas, and a People's Court even tried cases of murder and government corruption.

Learn about a development center helping 400 villages rise from poverty, and a nationwide movement of villages where all land was held in common and decisions were made by unanimous consent. Written by an experienced journalist and author, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging look at the Gandhian tradition in India after Mahatma Gandhi's death.

With its focus on the individuals and movements that have carried on Gandhi's legacy, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in social alternatives and the power of nonviolent resistance.
