  • HUMS 4904A Schedule Mondays 11:35 - 2:25 [Each Session Is in Two Halves: a and B]
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE HUMANITIES Humanities 4904 A (Winter 2011) Mahatma Gandhi Across Cultures Mondays 11:35-2:25 Prof. Noel Salmond Paterson Hall 2A46 Paterson Hall 2A38 520-2600 ext. 8162 [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays 2:00 - 4:00 (Or by appointment) This seminar is a critical examination of the life and thought of one of the pivotal and iconic figures of the twentieth century, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – better known as the Mahatma, the great soul. Gandhi is a bridge figure across cultures in that his thought and action were inspired by both Indian and Western traditions. And, of course, in that his influence has spread across the globe. He was shaped by his upbringing in Gujarat India and the influences of Hindu and Jain piety. He identified as a Sanatani Hindu. Yet he was also influenced by Western thought: the New Testament, Henry David Thoreau, John Ruskin, Count Leo Tolstoy. We will read these authors: Thoreau, On Civil Disobedience; Ruskin, Unto This Last; Tolstoy, A Letter to a Hindu and The Kingdom of God is Within You. We will read Gandhi’s autobiography, My Experiments with Truth, and a variety of texts from his Collected Works covering the social, political, and religious dimensions of his struggle for a free India and an India of social justice. We will read selections from his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, the book that was his daily inspiration and that also, ironically, was the inspiration of his assassin. We will encounter Gandhi’s clash over communal politics and caste with another architect of modern India – Bimrao Ambedkar, author of the constitution, Buddhist convert, and leader of the “untouchable” community.

  • Nirodbaran Talks with Sri Aurobindo 01
    Talks with Sri Aurobindo Volume 1 by Nirodbaran Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry NOTE These talks are from my notebooks. For several years I used to record most of the conversations which Sri Aurobindo had with us, his attendants, and a few others, after the accident to his right leg in November 1938. Besides myself, the regular participants were: Purani, Champaklal, Satyendra, Mulshankar and Dr. Becharlal. Occasional visitors were Dr. Manilal, Dr. Rao and Dr. Savoor. As these notes were not seen by Sri Aurobindo himself, the responsibil- ity for the Master's words rests entirely with me. I do not vouch for absolute accuracy, but I have tried my best to reproduce them faithfully. I have made the same attempt for the remarks of the others. NIRODBARAN i PREFACE The eve of the November Darshan, 1938. The Ashram humming with the ar- rival of visitors. On every face signs of joy, in every look calm expectation and happiness. Everybody has retired early, lights have gone out: great occa- sion demands greater silent preparation. The Ashram is bathed in an atmos- phere of serene repose. Only one light keeps on burning in the corner room like a midnight vigil. Sri Aurobindo at work as usual. A sudden noise! A rush and hurry of feet breaking the calm sleep. 2:00 a.m. Then an urgent call to Sri Aurobindo's room. There, lying on the floor with his right knee flexed, is he, clad in white dhoti, upper body bare, the Golden Purusha. The Mother, dressed in a sari, is sitting beside him.

  • IV-His-EM-Gandhi and National Movement 10-Apr-2020
    Gandhi and National Movement Gandhian Tools and Early Struggles Gandhian Ideology Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), herein after Gandhiji, was undoubtedly the most authentic and celebrated representative of the wisdom and culture of India in our times. His countrymen address him, with respect, as the Mahatma. For Many, among the greatest, Gandhiji was the great. He was a social reformer, an economist, a political philosopher and a seeker of truth. We consider him as a 'yugapurusha', one who inaugurated a new era. The contribution of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to the Indian national movement was un-paralleled. He made the Indian National Congress a peoples' Congress and the national movement a mass movement. He made people fearless and bold and taught them the non- violent method for fighting against injustice. He had a passion for individual liberty which was closely bound with his understanding of truth and self realization. His search for truth led him to make deep forays within Iiis own inner self as it led him to probe into the natural and social world around him, particularly the tradition which he considered his own. Gandhi’s philosophy was a profound engagement with modernity and its pitfalls. Against the evils of wan.ton industrialization, materialism and selfish pursuits, Gandhi suggested, in , turn, swadeshi, primacy of the self and trusteeship; against the institution of state, as the force personified, and the prevalent notion of democracy where only heads are counted, he - favored a swaraj type of democracy where everything springs from the free individual and where decisions are made bottom-up with the locus of power below.

    International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research ISSN: 2455-8834 Volume:02, Issue:02 NEHRU’S POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IN THE LIGHT OF HIS CONCEPT OF SOCIALISM, NATIONALISM AND GANDHISM *Muhammad Qasim Sodhar, Rafiq Akber, Bushra Pawhwar Shanghai University, Shanghai, China *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT This paper aims at analyzing Nehru’s political vision that how he had advocated three different political ideologies i.e. Socialism, Nationalism and Gandhism at one time, and in connection with ideologies he followed, another aim of this paper is to address the logic behind Nehru’s acceptance of Fabian concept of socialism but not Marxism and Leninism in practice. It will be analyzed theoretically by definition and method applied by Fabian Society, and will be explored that either Nehru’s inclination towards Fabian concept of socialism was a matter of ideology, his social background or political interests or even all these were prevailing at the same time? Keywords: Socialism, Nationalism, Fabian Society, Marxism, Leninism, Gandhism. INTRODUCTION Jawaharlal Nehru who belonged to a middle class family and he preached the ideas of socialism in Indian political system under British India especially he tried to instill these ideas in Congress ideology. Indian National Congress party which was represented by elitist initially then became a party of middle class politicians. But, the socialism was totally against of class system if it did not advocate the classless society but at least diminishing class system. In this condition, how it was possible for Nehru who was from bourgeois class to preach and amalgamate socialist ideology with the ideology of Congress? This paper will deal Nehru’s socialistic ideas, and also his attempts to get socialist ideas accepted by the leaders of Congress.

  • Unit 13 Civil Disobedience and Satyagraha
    UNIT 13 CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND SATYAGRAHA Structure 13.1 Introduction 13.2 Concept of Civil Disobedience 13.3 History of the Concept of Civil Disobedience 13.4 Theory of Civil Disobedience and Existentialist Philosophy 13.5 Gandhian Concept of Civil Disobedience and Satyagraha 13.6 Civil Disobedience in Practice 13.7 Summary 13.8 Exercises 13.1 INTRODUCTION The concept of civil disobedience movement has become an important element in the political power structure in contemporary world. This movement has spread around the world. It has been exemplified by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the civil rights movement in the United States, the ‘ people’s power’ movement in the Philippines, the non-violent collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and so on. The success of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a lot to do with the emergence of satyagraha as an organisational power. To discuss about the history of the twentieth century, without exploring the impact of civil disobedience and satyagraha is to malign the very basis of the people’s movement and the study of social science. The Gandhian method of civil disobedience and satyagraha has given a new dimension to the concept of statecraft. While delivering the most prestigious Gandhi Memorial Lecture on “Towards a World without war- Gandhism and the Modern World” on 11 February 1992, Dr. Daisaku Ikeda said, “As we approach the end of this century of unprecedented wars and violence, we seek as our common goal the creation of a world without war. At this critical juncture what can we – must we- learn from this great philosopher – a man whose spiritual legacy could rightly be termed as one of humanity’s priceless treasures, a miracle of the twentieth century.” The basic aim of every political system is to assist in the process of self-actualisation of individuals to fulfil the inner requirements for a continuous moral growth.

  • Ethical Values of Social Work Profession and Gandhism
    May IJRSS Volume 2, Issue 2 ISSN: 2249-2496 2012 _________________________________________________________ ETHICAL VALUES OF SOCIAL WORK PROFESSION AND GANDHISM Prof. M. Lakshmipathi Raju* Dr. B. S. N. Raju** __________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION: The ethical values of social work profession have long been given scant attention ethical foundation and ethical research is as important knowledge and theory in social work practice Ethical Theory building will strengthen the moral fibre of the profession and it will contribute to the current knowledge relating to social work practice. There is need for greater attention to value and ethics in the present context of technological and scientific advancements and the consequent decadence and degradation of the values of life. Gandhian values and the values of social work profession have much in common and these are similarities in Gandhian thought and professional ethics in social work practice. Gandhian ethical system is inimical to western materialistic values and utilitarianism. He emphasizes social justice and well-being of all(Sarvodaya), giving priority to the disadvantaged sections and the poorest of the poor(Antyodaya). Gandhi meant by Sarvodaya, the raise or awakening of all. Gandhi is more relevant today than even before. The ethical values which he cherished are universal in the sense that they are in conformity with the universal norms and particularly more relevant to the values and ethics of social work practice. Some people believe that he is two hundred years ahead of his time. No doubt he has launched his movement for the * Former Professor in Social Work, Sri Padmavathi Mahila University, Tirupathi, and Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur; presently Co-ordinator, Dept.of Social Work and H.R.M, MRPG College, Vizianagaram.
