Few individuals have made so great a mark upon their times, and yet Gandhi never held high political office, commanded no armies and was not even a compelling orator. How then can his power be explained? How and why did the shy student and affluent lawyer come to challenge a Western empire?
David Arnold's fascinating profile tracks ?Mahatma? Gandhi's influence and image over more than forty years of public life:
- the struggle for the rights of Indians in South Africa which pitched him against white racism
- Gandhi's techniques of non-cooperation and civil disobedience to drive out the British and wrest India's freedom
- his ascendancy over the British, the Salt March of 1930, his unique appeal as both Hindu saint and ordinary colonial subject
- why India's independence in 1947, and violent partition, was not the freedom for which Gandhi had struggled
- Gandhi's bitter disillusionment before his assassination in January 1948
In leading India to independence, Gandhi also contributed uniquely to British political life and to the eventual dissolution of a worldwide Empire. This is a vivid introduction to his life and times.
DAVID ARNOLD is Professor of South Asian History at the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London.
