This collection of Quotations from Ghandi's principal works was originally issued by UNESCO as an introduction to his thinking. The chapters cover Gandhi's life and his views on religion, non-violence, politics, the future of India and the role of women in society. Gandhi was this rare phenomenon in history: a true political revolutionary who did not destroy people and had an absolute respect for human life .His thoughts and actions inspired the Civil Richts struggle of the sixties and the peacefull revolutions in Eastern Europe and the Phillipines.

Not as successful as his other books this is a gem whose relevance increases in todays world Read it and you will gift it!!

Very good book, the book contains several interesting happenings in gandhi's life. It is very melancholic and reflectful. The book however, is a hard read, and I found myself struggling to understand what Gandhi meant. But there are very good metaphors and some very interpretive views on modern day india, as well as the world. Gandhi was a predominant character in the 20th century, and his works are highly appreciated. I recommned this book to all readers of interest in india. And hope that you enjoy it as I did.
