Summary/Abstract |
The influence of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Gandhi’s on nationalist India are well-known. They all through their entire life wanted total freedom and upliftment of the Indian masses, i.e., their material and moral advancement. In the pre and post-independence period, Ambedkar divided Indians into two classes, the rich-the upper class and the poor-the lower class.

Summary/Abstract |
This article focuses on the shift in the attitude of the liberal American journalist Louis Fischer to India. It contrasts Fischer’s admiration of Mahatma Gandhi and his support for Indian independence, expressed vociferously and prolifically in the period 1942-47, with Fischer’s criticisms and eventual opposition to the personality and foreign policy of Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister. Going beyond Fischer’s reputation as a “friend of India” earned through his works on Gandhi and his efforts for Indian independence, thus far considered as the only important prisms to study his views on India, this treatment of Fischer situates his criticism of Nehru within his personal development as an anti-communist in the late 1940s and 1950s. This shift in Fischer’s attitude from Gandhi to Nehru provides an interesting personal sidelight to the intergovernmental relations between India and America in that period.

Summary/Abstract |
It is imperative to study rural life because rural sociology is a specialised application of sociology. The rural life is focussed on activi¬ties related to production, distribution, and consumption. The ap¬proach of studying rural life is to identify the conditions which have constructed the village. From a sociological approach the rural life is concerned with the human relationships among the village people simply because they are social in nature and not because they are related to economic, political, religious and other types of activities.

Summary/Abstract |
Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most outstanding men that the 20th century has produced. He regarded himself primarily as an activist-theoretician where action and theory intertwined to produce a theoretical construct that defies strict categorization. He gave little importance to the physical aspect of the human being and it is for this reason that he rejected the modern western industrialized technological society because it gave too much importance to sensuality and to the body thereby losing self-restraint, desiring insatiable wants, too much of self-indulgence leading to a decline in spiritual and moral values.

Summary/Abstract |
Among the makers of modern India, Sardar Patel and his contributions to the nation are outstanding. As Mahatma Gandhi was preoccupied with dousing communal disharmony and Jawaharlal Nehru was voicing his views and vision to the newly born nation and the world with his landmark speech of India’s Tryst with Destiny, Patel was relentlessly working on the consolidation of India into one single unit. His spirit of service and sacrifice were par excellence written in the pages of history as unique.
