Gandhi Wins South Africa (Hardback)

Description

The present book, Gandhi Wins South Africa is a sincere attempt to trace out Mahatma Gandhi’s contributions to the eradication of racial discriminations in South Africa from 1893 to 1914. During his about twenty two years non-violent struggle against apartheid in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi developed his whole political philosophies and principles of Non-violence and Satyagraha and testified their efficacy by pitching them against the mightiest brute force of the time. Mahatma Gandhi was the first political leader in the world who dared to introduce ethical and moral elements into practical politics and brought satisfactory result. Therefore, Mahatma Gandhi’s Style of Leadership which he evolved in South Africa, should find a specific place in every civilised society committed to the ‘Rule of Law’. Mahatma Gandhi’s Footsteps are a source of inspiration for those who wish to bring a peaceful and bloodless change in the Society and State. The host of United Nations Declarations and Conventions for the complete elimination of racial discrimination and apartheid, thereby, establishment of racial equality derives inspirations from the Gandhian non-violent philosophies and methods. The dawn of democracy led by Dr. Nelson Mandela after about 200 years of racist regime in south Africa is a monumental testimony to Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent struggles against apartheid.
