Review

'This edition will not only make available Gandhi's 'seminal work' to a new audience; it should also help to further debate about the ideological character of Indian nationalism, that most untypical of movements.' Sunil Khilnani, The Times Literary Supplement

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book
    Reviewed in Canada on October 23, 2001
    This book is simply awesome. I call this one of the best books I've ever read. It presents Gandhi's views lucidly and you understand the clarity of thought and spirituality of a person who lead India to freedom.
    To all Indians who are unaware of their own civilization, this book also contains portions where Gandhi gives reasons for why he regards Indian civilization to be the best. (I accept that I'm being chauvinistic).
    However, this book is not meant for Indians alone, it is for people who wish to be open-minded, who dare to think outside the box, who wish to understand the world, mainly who wish to search for the all-pervading truth.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2014

    Since this was written in the early 1900's, There will be little new to the well informed, but Ghandi's views on non-violent change from colonialism to independence have much sound advice for emerging Third World governments and their people. They might even save a few lives! It is not all entirely convincing; the Mahatma sometime confuses professions with colonialism and has a very romantic opinion of the virtues of crafts. Otherwise, his conviction that people should determine for themselves who should govern them and how can hardly be denied rationally and the daily proof that shooting the opposition does nothing but teach said opposition how to shoot back is presented clearly and effectively.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Gandhian Politics
    Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 1999
    Gandhi explains in Hind Swaraj some of his fundamental ideas on how to obtain Home Rule in India. One aspect of Indian society Gandhi criticizes is the relationship between Muslims and Hindus. Gandhi tries to convey the idea that religious identity does not constitute for nationality. He feels that in order to obtain swaraj, India's people must unify themselves as a nation. By disbanding disagreements between the two religions, with acceptance and without imposition, Gandhi implies that what is important- Mother India- can be saved. Both Hindus and Muslims should stop seeking concessions from the British, begin the swadeshi movement (Indian-made goods), and that a universal language (Hindi) would also help the cause. Another factor which will lead to swaraj is passive resistance. (Gandhi launched the Civil Disobedience Movement 1931-34). Unlike Nehru, Gandhi opposed modernization/industrialization. These views, as well as views about education and economic reform are also included.

    I had to read this book for a history class at UBC and it's extremely interesting. Definitely more of a mature and academic novel, but was glad to read it and gain more on Ghandhi's perspective.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary commentary
    Reviewed in India on December 25, 2013

    A lot of the commentary is for foreigners who don't have a good background in Indian history. Just the original text should suffice for an Indian.

    This book is a collection of M. K. Gandhi's "HInd Swaraj" and other writings. Parel's detailed and comprehensive introduction and analysis of Gandhi and his works serves an ideal starting point to understand the founding figure of modern India. The wide selection of works supplement his ideas clearly illustrated in "Hind Swaraj" and gives a complete picture of Gandhi.
