This boxset brings together two groundbreaking anthologies—Gandhi Then and Now and Inheriting Gandhi—that explore the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s thought and practice across a century of seismic change. Bridging philosophy, politics, social reform and personal ethics, these volumes offer a nuanced, and sometimes critical, engagement with the legacy of one of history’s most complex figures.
Gandhi Then and Now: Autobiographies and Conversations explores his life as a continuous ‘experiment with truth’—a radical method of self-inquiry that reshaped political activism and public morality.
Inheriting Gandhi: Influences, Activisms shifts focus to the present, asking: What can Gandhi teach us in an age of climate collapse, pandemics, rising authoritarianism and broken solidarities?
Edited by leading scholars and framed by powerful contributions from thinkers like Bhikhu Parekh, Akeel Bilgrami and Neera Chandhoke, these books offer both a critical reckoning with Gandhi’s contradictions and a call to reimagine his values in our fractured world.
