ABOUT THE BOOK This book, 'Gandhism and Gandhian Philosophy : A Critical Review', precisely reflects on the salient features of Gandhian thoughts on and about human life, society, polity and human ethics as envisioned through 'Satyagraha' (the practice of 'Truth' and non-violence or the principle of not to injure anyone), 'Sarvodaya' or the concept of doing the best for all, the 'Panchayet Raj' or 'Ramraj', village economy on agriculture and cottage-industry, women's rights in respect of nature-gifted masculine and feminine characteristics and lineaments of the two sexes, greedless preservation of peaceful and diverse natural environment and ecology, the eternal truth and God. Apart from a critical review along with the thematic analysis of each chapter in the light of logic and contemporary historical context, the book includes a coeval criticism and evaluation of Gandhian thoughts by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, 'the Prince of Patriots', who was the first nationalist revolutionary to call Gandhiji 'the Father of the Nation' and gave India 'Jai Hind' the national salutation first used by the Indian National Army (I.N.A.) and the Provisional Government of Free India (Azad Hind) set up by him in South East Asia
