B.R. Nanda
Gandhi: Pan-Islamism, Imperialism and Nationalism in India
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2001; 0-19-565827-2 / 9780195658279; First Edition; Paperback; New; New;
In this work the author analyses both why Gandhi chose to support the pleas of Indian Muslims on behalf of the Ottoman Khilafat, and how the fate of Turkey and its Sultan-Khalifa so completely came to obsess the consciousness of a whole generation of Indian Muslims when, by hindsight, we know that Muslim Turks themselves ultimately abolished it.

In Search of Gandhi: Essays and Reflections

B.R. Nanda s first work on Gandhi was published in 1958 and since then he has written extensively on many related topics but Gandhi appears as a leitmotif in the entire corpus of his work. Nanda s intensive and abiding curiosity about this key figure of modern India has resulted in an insightful and unique understanding of Gandhi s motivations and the circumstances surrounding his political decisions and personal choices. The 29 essays cover a vast territory: Gandhi s formative years his struggle against racism in South Africa and imperialism in India his attitude to religion and the partition of India his public life and his relations with colleagues, disciples, and opponents and the continuing relevance of his political and economic thought for India and the world, even in the twenty-first century. In Search of Gandhi presents in compact and lucid form, the major events and personalities of Gandhi s long public life. This comprehensive and scrupulously researched selection wil l be of immense interest to scholars of Gandhian studies and the history of the Indian freedom movement. It has much to offer those who want to know more about the man whose ideas and methods are recognized as being increasingly relevant in a world racked by ethnic conflict, religious fundamentalism and international terrorism.
