Gandhi: Hind Swaraj and Other Writings Centenary Edition

Hind Swaraj is Mahatma Gandhis fundamental work. Not only is it key to understanding his life and thoughts but also the politics of South Asia in the first half of the twentieth century. Celebrating 100 years since Hind Swaraj was first published in a newspaper this centenary edition includes a new Preface and Editors Introduction as well as a new chapter on Gandhi and the Four Canonical Aims of Life. The volume presents a critical edition of the 1910 text of Hind Swaraj fully annotated and including Gandhis own Preface and Foreword (not found in other editions). Anthony J. Parel sets the work in its historical and political contexts and analyses the significance of Gandhis experiences in England and South Africa. The second part of the volume contains some of Gandhis other writings including his correspondence with Tolstoy and Nehru.
