Summary/Abstract |
In the years before and during the Second World War, the Roosevelt Administration played an important and often overlooked role in encouraging Britain's disengagement from the Indian subcontinent. Roosevelt's motivations in pressing for Indian independence were varied. They included a mix of principled opposition to colonialism, practical concern for the outcome of the war and pragmatic jockeying for influence with post-colonial nations when the war was won. Churchill's government was wary of being pushed by Washington to move more quickly to "quit India" than it thought prudent. U.S. policy and actions clearly influenced the direction of events toward independence, but U.S. caution as the war ground on led to disillusionment among nationalist leaders. This reaction would have consequences once swaraj was won and India came into its own, at a time when the Cold War was becoming the dominant factor in America's view of the world.

Summary/Abstract |
In the definition of civilization, Gandhiji calls a civilization, "civilization" which lays the path of knowing oneself. The path, thus of seeking self knowledge being and must be unique for each individual, group, community and nation according to their Law of Being swadharma. From the path that one follow, one derives one's identity in society.

Summary/Abstract |
Only rarely do we in India ever take other’s work any more seriously than passing amusement: given this, I am glad that the guest editors have given me an opportunity to present publicly my response to Krishna Chandra Bhattacharya’s (KCB's) Swaraj in Ideas.

Summary/Abstract |
Gandhi continues to fascinate people from all walks of life- academics, scientists, philosophers, social workers and those from civil society. The novelty of his ideas continues even after they had been forwarded a hundred years ago. In today's society, the need for revisiting Gandhian principles is being felt enormously. Perhaps the answer lies in the changing system of politics, economics, culture and also religious dimensions. That his thoughts are ever relevant needs neither mention nor elaboration. Though critics would severely disagree with this, there are views and ideas that hold true even to this day.
