First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. "As India became free on 15 August 1947 and Jawaharlal Nehru became the First Prime Minister of the Country, the larger 'Gandhi Family' comprising the political and non-political associates of the Mahatma, needed to think through their future equations. Was a dividing line to be drawn between those who had entered public office and those who continued to do 'constructive work'? The Mahatma had planned a discussion on this and in his meticulous manner, identified the venue and date for the meeting, which he intended to attend in Sevagram on 2 February 1948. 30 January 1948 intervened. But thanks primarily to Rajendra Prasad and Vinoba Bhave, the proposed conference did take place, after a slight deferment, in March 1948. Without the Mahatma, the meeting acquired a new theme: 'Gandhi is Gone. Who Will Guide Us Now?' The record of discussions at the conference were typed out for limited circulation amongst the participants. The deliberations were largely in Hindustani, with the subject of India's Future Lingua Franca itself being one of the subjects of discussion. The record of that conference, unknown to the world until now, forms a fascinating document. Nehru sparkles in it, Vinoba Glows, Kumarappa and Kripalani speak out trenchantly. The Gandhian legacy and how to further it, is discussed threadbare from numerous perspectives. Industrialization, militarization, communalism and the plight of refugees from Pakistan are among the subjects discussed. Published here for the first time sixty years on, the discussions of that conference remain amazingly pertinent, stimulating and challenging today. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in Gandhi, his legacy and the history of modern India.".

'Gandhi's close relationship with people and events in Bengal extended over 50 years. He first entered Calcutta in 1896 when visiting India from South Africa. His last visit in 1947 coincided almost to the day with India's independence from British rule. Bengal has always been one of India's most vibrant regions, politically, commercially and artistically, never moreso than during the struggle for independence. Over this half century, Gandhi forged close links with the region, connecting himself with many of Bengal's cultural and political leaders - Rabindranath Tagore, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, and the Bose brothers.Gandhi and Bengal draws on a wide range of contemporary documents - from newspaper reports, letters, journals, and Gandhi's own writings. The book throws new light on Gandhi's own evolution as a politician and a strategist, revealing his continual struggle against colonialism as well as his very personal dilemmas, torn between the practical and the spiritual.' -- publisher.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In Abolishing the Death Penalty: Why India Should Say No to Capital Punishment, Gopalkrishna Gandhi asks fundamental questions about the ultimate legal punishment awarded to those accused of major crimes. Is taking another life a just punishment or an act as inhuman as the crime that triggered it? Does having capital punishment in the law books deter crime? His conclusions are unequivocal: Cruel in its operation, ineffectual as deterrence, unequal in its application in an uneven society, liable like any punishment to be in error but incorrigibly so, these grievous flaws that are intrinsic to the death penalty are compounded by yet another-it leaves the need for retribution (cited as its primary 'good') unrequited and simply makes society more bloodthirsty. Examining capital punishment around the world from the time of Socrates onwards, the author delves into how the penalty was applied in India during the times of Asoka, Sikandar Lodi, Krishnadevaraya, the Peshwas and the British Raj, and how it works today. Of the 195 countries in the world, 140 are abolitionist and no longer have the death penalty in law or in practice. Abolition-minded in theory, India is retentionist in practice-the death penalty can be handed down even for non-homicidal crimes. But even though it is only meant to be handed down in the 'rarest of the rare' cases, there are currently 385 convicts on death row. Through in-depth analysis, persuasive argument and the marshalling of the considered opinion of jurists, human rights activists, scholars and criminologists among others, this book shows exactly why the death penalty should be abolished with immediate effect in India.

Appendices: 1. Gandhi's meetings with Governors of Bengal. 2. Gandhi's visits to Santiniketan. 3. A list of places where Gandhi stayed in Calcutta. 4. Maps. 5. Gandhi in Bengal: a Chronological table. Index of personalities. "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's first visit to Bengal was on 4 July 1896 when he disembarked in Calcutta while on a visit from South Africa. Lord Elgin was Viceroy and Governor General of India. His last visit to Calcutta commenced shortly before 15 August 1947, the day India became free. Through this meticulous compilation of newspaper reports, letters, excerpts from contemporary accounts and Gandhi's own writings, and the extensive annotations that bring to light many known and unknown characters and events of the time, as well as accounts of Gandhi's interactions with the 'greats' of Bengal such as Rabindranath Tagore, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das and the impactful Bose Brothers that reveal their extraordinary personalities, we see a man continually evolving as a political and a strategist in the struggle against colonialism, an organizer of mass-struggles and of individual initiatives, mainly his own. Running through the text, as it does through Gandhi's thoughts, prayers, decisions and extensive travels, is the pulse of the people of Bengal, a people whose manifold talents and perspectives set them at the heart of renascent India. This volume is sure to enable a better understanding of the Mahatma whose life was sited on an almost oxymoronic overlap of the empirical and the deeply spiritual.".

First Edition
Ahmedabad, Navajivan Publishing House, [1993]. 8vo. Original illustrated boards with illustrated dust-wrappers, map endpapers in black and blue; pp. xxvii, 475; near fine. Very rare first edition, one of 1000 copies produced. Although Gandhi left South Africa in 1914, he remained very interested and involved in South African racial and social politics. 'It was in South Africa that Gandhiji formulated the concept and practice of satyagraha. It was in South Africa that his attitude to the social problem of India crystallized' (p. v). These writings of Gandhi, sometimes from very hard to trace printed sources, are prefaced by Trevor Huddleston. He writes that the book 'appears at precisely the right moment in the history of the struggle against the institutional racism know as 'apardheid' ⦠Here for the fist time the true significance of Mohandas Gandhi's sojourn in South Africa has been spelt out' (p. iii). COPAC locates copies only at SOAS, Oxford, and University of Edinburgh; not in the British Library.
