The Gandhian Moment

Ramin Jahanbegloo is Associate Professor and Noor–York Chair in Islamic Studies at York University, Toronto.

Sudhir Kakar:
Jahanbegloo's rediscovery of Gandhi makes a compelling case for the power of love to transform collective action against injustice and oppression. An eloquent and highly original contribution to Gandhi's political philosophy that is becoming increasingly relevant in struggles against autocratic regimes around the world. A required reading for thinkers and activists alike.

Professor Lord Bhikhu Parekh:
A stimulating and imaginative exploration of Gandhi's nonviolence both as a method of resistance and as the basis of a new kind of national and global political order. It demolishes many a myth about Muslim societies and insightfully shows Gandhi's relevance to them.
