Opis

This book brings together political thought of Gandhi and Tagore to examine the relationship between politics, truth and conscience. It examines in nuanced detail Tagore’s opposition to political violence in colonial Bengal and the scope of Gandhi’s nonviolence and satyagraha to offer an exploration of the first principles of ethical politics as conceived by these two and in the process discusses truth and conscience as viable public virtues.
