Gandhi in South Africa: A Racist or A Liberator?
Share
As a tribute to Kasturba and Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of their 150th birth anniversaries, Dr. Siby K. Joseph, Dean of Studies and Research of the Institute of Gandhian Studies, Wardha, has penned a research study titled Gandhi in South Africa: A Racist or A Liberator? There have been incessant attempts to portray Gandhi as a racist and casteist in the wake of centenary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi’s return to India from South Africa and the attempts to install of Gandhi statues in African countries. The book succinctly analyses Gandhi’s approach to race and racial discrimination and his fight for the dignity of people of Indian origin in South Africa. It examines and answers some of the criticisms raised by a section of scholars and activists who tried to create confusions about the life, thought and work of Gandhi in South Africa. The based on close examination of all the relevant documents, literature, writings including those of Gandhi and others the study concludes that Gandhi was neither a racists nor a casteist rather he turned out to be great source of inspiration for all the enslaved people of the world including those of South Africa.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
