Gandhi

The book is focused on critically analyzing Gandhi's ideas, ideals and politics in the then prevailing circumstances. It has tried to investigate the various assertions made by his admirers and critics and seeks to find out answer to the following: + Was Gandhi a democrat? + What shape did the Congress acquire under his leadership? + Did he himself follow the principles that he advocated? + To what extent the sainthood benefited him as a politician? + Were any of the experiments that he conducted at his ashram successful? + Was there any taker of his theory of trusteeship? + Why did he let down nationalist Muslims in South Africa and later in India? + Why didn't he solve the communal problem when Jinnah was desperate for its solution? + What led him to accept the partition of India? + Why was he sidelined by the British authorities as well as by his own lieutenants after independence? + Why did he remain aloof when the constitution of India was being framed? + Why did he seek dissolution of the Congress? + Why was he desperate to go to Pakistan? + Why did fanatics target him when his own lieutenants were more responsible for the division of the subcontinent?
