This book is about the several movements which were responsible for bringing unity in India which ultimately led the country to demand independence from the British rule. Several notable revolutions and events that brought national unity and consciousness for independence were Anti-bengal partition, Swadeshi movement (1905-10), Jaliwanawala Bagh massacre (1919), Khilafat Movement & Non-cooperation movement (1919 - 22), Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-34) and finally Quit India Movement (1942-47). Though there were numerous freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence, the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi stands alone for making the common man participate in the struggle for independence through the method of non-violence.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1868-1948), popularly known as Mahatma continues to provoke interest even after more than half a century after his assassination. It is true that Richard Attenborough’s film on Gandhi immensely popularized Gandhi all over the world, though Gandhi remains an important topic of research and discussion among those interested in exploring alternative ideological traditions. The task is made easier simply because Gandhi’s own writings on various themes are plenty and less ambiguous. His articulation is not only clear and simple but also meaningful in similar contexts in which he led the most gigantic nationalist struggle of the twentieth century. Gandhi wrote extensively in Indian Opinion, Young India and Harijan, the leading newspapers of the era, where he commented on issues of contemporary relevance. These texts frequently addressed matters of everyday importance to Indians in early and middle parts of twentieth century that may not appear to be relevant now if seen superficially. Writing for the ordinary folks, he usually employed metaphors and engaged in homilies to teach Indians about their abilities and also their strong traditions. This is one of the ways in which he involved Indians in non-violent struggles against British imperialism, untouchability and communal discord. At the outset it may be noted that Gandhi was not a systematic thinker but only an inspired teacher who poured out his deepest feelings and sincere realizations. It is true that Gandhi never tried to present new principles in a systematic manner, but he preached certain basic principles which were quite consistent.
