Gandhi is not interested in abstract theoretical philosophical formulations, but rather philosophy as engaged practice. He focuses on living a philosophy of satya (truth) and ahimsa (non violence). Gandhi's primary concern is with developing moral character and practice and with ethics as first philosophy. This is different not only from the history of Western philosophy, but also from traditional Indian Philosophy. Gandhi's critique of modern state emanated from its coercive aspect and its anti human thrust. At a basic level, the mode of operation of the modern state constituted an infringement with his concept of non of non violence. The moral dimensions of the modern state too were not agreeable to him. This book defines the concept of spirituality and distinguishes it from materialism. The book investigates Gandhian concept of 'Gram Swaraj' and how Panchayati institutions can be revitalised without pernicious impact of caste and crude power. It also evaluates the Gandhian credo of truth, non violence, Sarvodaya, Satyagrah and Gram Swarajya in the overall context of multiple challenges of the millennium. It further includes the analysis of contemporary trends of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation in the light of trusteeship and Swadeshi doctrines along with their dynamism and relevance for the world society.
