Description

The Indestructible Gandhi

During his lifetime, Mohandas Gandhi often looked like he had lost, but returned to the centre of public debate. Today at a time of historical reassessment he continues to be embraced from many political directions, and appears contemporary in a way his contemporaries do not. Why do Gandhi’s ideas continue to resonate 151 years after his birth, and what explains their applicability between generations?
