| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Gandhi's form of protest and life has been resisted and criticized by many in the past and present as impossible, his teachings have led to intense debate and controversies, and this is bound to continue into the future as well. However, amidst the debate and the discussion, Gandhi's teachings are not only kept alive but are constantly produced and re-produced by those seeking to understand Gandhi and apply Gandhi, much like the myth of Gandhi which had become the savior and beacon of hope for many in pre-independent India, preventing them from losing hope under the harsh conditions that had been set up by the erstwhile British colonial rule. |
