A COLLECTION OF EXCEPTIONAL THINK PIECES BY SOME OF THE BRILLIANT MINDS OF OUR TIME

Contributors include: Ela Gandhi • Tushar Gandhi • RA Mashelkar • Anil Kakodkar • Brenda Gourley • Radhakrishnan Pillai • Kumar Ketkar • Rohini Hattangadi • Rajkumar Hirani • Bharat Dabholkar

Compiled and edited by noted scholar Rajan Welukar, Gandhi @ 150 explores the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas in today’s world and the impact of his philosophy across a wide spectrum of areas such as religion, economics, science, education, the arts and health and development.

In this book, the contributors explain how certain Gandhian concepts can be used for our nation’s advancement. For example, ‘Gandhian engineering’ can help boost India’s progress with its focus on getting more from fewer resources for more people. In addition, the gram swaraj approach alone can stop the mass exodus of youth from villages to cities in search of jobs—a major worry for urban planners and village economies today. These are just a few of the many applicable solutions based on Gandhi’s ideas you will come across in these pages.

To celebrate Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, experts from various fields, such as Anil Kakodkar, RA Mashelkar, Douglas Roche, Ela Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi, Justice RC Chavan, Rajkumar Hirani and Daniel C Taylor among others, have contributed to this remarkable anthology. This book will help you understand why Gandhi’s views are relevant now more than ever.

RAJAN WELUKAR, an eminent academician, is the former vice-chancellor of the University of Mumbai, Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University and GH Raisoni University. He lives in Mumbai.

This book deals with the Mahatma's relationship with Muslims and his role in the partition of India. The author has done extensive research and has traced the roots of the Mahatma's approach to this issue from the South African days through various freedom struggle movements and them to the Partition of India
The book is neither history nor a biography nor even a broad survey of the work of Himalayan dimensions that Gandhiji was able to out in during his public life. However the author has quoted extensively from Gandhiji's speeches and writings to put light on the three points he was accused of-that Gandhiji was pro-Muslim, anti-Hindu and the main cause of the partition of India. This book is a result of references to several hundred published works on Mahatma.

About The Author : Rafiq Zakaria :

Dr Rafiq Zakaria has been a cabinet minister and has a distinguished career in law, education, journalism, politics and Islamic studies. He is an author of more than fifteen books. He has represented India at the United Nations thrice.

In 1893, when Mohandas Gandhi set sail for South Africa, he was a briefless lawyer who had failed to establish himself in India. In this remarkable biography, Ramachandra Guha argues that the two decades that Gandhi spent in the diaspora were the making of the Mahatma. It was here that he forged the philosophy and techniques that would ultimately destroy the British Empire.
Based on archival research in four continents, this book explores Gandhi's experiments with dissident cults, his friendships and enmities, and his failures as a husband and father. Gandhi Before India tells the dramatic story of how he mobilized a cross-class and inter-religious coalition, pledged to non-violence in their battle against a racist regime.
Deeply researched and beautifully written, this book will radically alter our understanding and appreciation of modern India's greatest man.

DESCRIPTION: 

‘‘गाँधी काम-भावना की दुर्दम्य शक्ति से जीवनपर्यंत आक्रान्त रहे। उन्होंने ब्रह्मचर्य व्रत, अर्थात पत्नी के साथ शारीरिक सम्बन्ध का त्याग सन् 1906 में ही ले लिया था। पर वे स्त्री-पुरुष सम्बन्ध के आकर्षण से कभी मुक्त नहीं हो सके। जिसे गाँधीजी ने जीवन के उत्तरार्ध में ‘ब्रह्मचर्य प्रयोग’ कहा, उसके गम्भीर अध्ययन के बाद वह मोह और आकर्षण ही लगता है। स्वयं गाँधीजी ने अपनी आत्मकथा लिखने में तथा उस के बारह वर्ष बाद भी स्वीकार किया है कि वे ‘इन्द्रिय नियन्त्रण’ रखने में कठिनाई महसूस करते हैं। अर्थात् 57 और 69 वर्ष की आयु में भी उनका ब्रह्मचर्य एक सचेत प्रयत्न था, सहजावस्था नहीं। गाँधीजी ने यह छिपाया नहीं, यह उनकी महानता थी। किन्तु उन प्रयोगों में कोई महानता नहीं थी।’’ गाँधीजी के ब्रह्मचर्य के प्रयोग क्या थे? ऐसे प्रयोगों के पीछे गाँधीजी की क्या धारणा थी? कारण क्या थे, ऐसे प्रयोग करने के? और इन प्रयोगों की गाँधीजी के जीवन में क्या अहमियत थी? ऐसे ही कुछ असहज सवालों पर यह पुस्तक प्रकाश डालती है। गंभीर अध्ययन के बाद लिखी यह पुस्तक प्रामाणिक उद्धरणों पर आधारित है और लेखक का कहना है कि ‘‘यह एक प्रयास है ताकि हम प्रत्येक विषय पर पूर्वाग्रहरहित होकर जानकारी प्राप्त करने तथा सोचने-विचारने के प्रति सचेत हों।’’

DESCRIPTION: 

गाँधी को फाँसी दो!’ ‘गाँधी को फाँसी दो!’ के नारों, सड़े अंडों और पत्थरों से दक्षिणी अफ्रीका की अंग्रेज़ हुकूमत ने गाँधी का ‘स्वागत’ किया, जब वह 1897 में वहाँ वापस लौटे। इस रोष और गुस्से का कारण था गाँधी द्वारा राजकोट में प्रकाशित एक पुस्तिका ‘ग्रीन पेपर’, जिसमें उन्होंने अंग्रेज़ सरकार की रंगभेद-नीति की कड़ी निंदा की थी और दक्षिण अफ्रीका में भारतीयों की दयनीय स्थिति के बारे में भारत की जनता को जागरूक किया था। दक्षिण अफ्रीका गाँधी की कर्मभूमि थी जहाँ उन्होंने अपने जीवन के बीस वर्ष बिताए और वहीं पर अहिंसा और सत्याग्रह का पहला प्रयोग किया। गाँधीजी का कहना था, ‘‘मेरा ‘जन्म’ तो भारत में हुआ, लेकिन मैं ‘तराशा’ गया दक्षिण अफ्रीका में।’’ इसी दक्षिण अफ्रीका की पृष्ठभूमि पर आधारित है यह नाटक। दक्षिण अफ्रीका की अंग्रेज़ सरकार और पड़ोसी अफ्रीकी देशों के बीच लड़ा जा रहा था ‘बोअर युद्ध’, जिसमें गाँधी ने युद्ध में घायल लोगों के इलाज के लिए ‘एम्बुलेंस कोर’ का आयोजन किया था। उस समय गाँधी के मन की क्या स्थिति थी-जहाँ एक तरफ वे अंग्रेज़ सरकार की नीतियों के खिलाफ अपनी सत्याग्रह की लड़ाई लड़ रहे थे और दूसरी ओर उसी सरकार का साथ दे रहे थे-युद्ध में पीड़ितों को राहत देकर इन सब जज़्बातों को बखूबी पेश किया गया है इस नाटक में। इस नाटक के लेखक हैं जाने-माने हिन्दी साहित्यकार गिरिराज किशोर, जो अब तक अनेक उपन्यास और नाटक लिख चुके हैं। अपने इस सातवें नाटक में लेखक ने एक अनोखा प्रयोग किया है-नाटक के दो अंत दिए हैं! पाठक अपनी पसंद के अनुसार नाटक का कोई भी अंत चुन सकता है।

DESCRIPTION:

The Story of a Great Soul, the Power of Nonviolence. Gandhi's face is instantly recognizable. But who was he? How did this young lawyer transform into the 'great soul' who led 400 million Indians in their nonviolent struggle for independence? Easwaran, who grew up in Gandhi's India, offers answers which are important both historically and personally. He gives a moving account of the turning points and choices in Gandhi's life that made him not just a great political leader but also a timeless icon of nonviolence. Gandhi's inner transformation, the essence of this biography, contains an urgent message for us today. Non-violence, Easwaran explains, is a practical method for resolving problems, healing relationships and raising the quality of our lives. It is a skill that is essential for the evolution and perhaps even the survival, of our civilization.

DESCRIPTION:

Gandhiji carved a philosophy which he nurtured and upheld throughout his life, only to be known later as Gandhian Philosophy. The three cardinals of Gandhian Philosophy -truth, love and non-violence are so coherent, cohesive and co-focal that the absence of even one breaches the wholesomeness of the structure. However, all these elements ought to be understood across a much wider plane and in a much deeper sense beyond the threshold of their common meanings. The importance of the human factor in contemporary management can be seen in its finest form in Gandhian Management. Gandhiji's humanitarian canvas was so global and clarion call for natural justice so intense that he became an institution by himself much before the world discovered this reality.

Ganesa commands universal respect among the indigenous religious schools and sects of the Hindus, Jainas and Buddhists. He is a god who is unique in many ways--his peculiar physiognomy, his double character, as a vighnakarta (creator of obstacles) and as a vighnaharta (remover of obstacles). He is worshipped first to ensure success of all religious and secular functions and enterprieses. GAnesa is also the god of dance and music. The cult of Ganesa spread to various countries of Asia.

The rise of Ganesa to pre-eminence in the orthodox Hindu pantheon, as one of the panca devatas, is truly remarkable. it is an ancient version of mundane legend: from Log Cabin to White House.

There have been many studies of this god in recent years; this one is the most comprehensive, fully documented in original sources, textual and artistic, and profusely illustrated. It traces the origin and development of pauranika Ganesa, from pre-pauranika Vinayaka, a vighnakarta, into pauranika Ganesa, a vighnaharta analyses his distinctive features and studies his representation in art both in India and in the other countries of Asia. It seeks to unravel the enigma of a non-Vedic, non-epic and a non-Aryan god coming to occupy a place of honour in Hindu pantheon. The techniques adopted by the followers of Ganesa to promote his cult and status and the enduring results achieved make a fascinating study in 'PR' work.

A sense of sculptural acumen is manifest in this spectacular Ganesha puja hanging lamp. The hanging depicts the Lord of Wisdom in a dancing mode with some beautiful carvings. The lower portion contains the lamps and some equally beautiful bells. The hanging lamp is smoothly carved and it is a paradigm of sculptural excellence. Lord Ganesha is one of the most popular deities in Hinduism and he is worshipped first before invoking any other gods. He is the remover of obstacles and also the Lord of Learning. He brings us good luck and fortunes.
