Download or read book Gandhi s Hinduism the Struggle against Jinnah s Islam written by M. J. Akbar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gandhi, a devout Hindu, believed faith could nurture the civilizational harmony of India, a land where every religion had flourished. Jinnah, a political Muslim rather than a practicing believer, was determined to carve up a syncretic subcontinent in the name of Islam. His confidence came from a wartime deal with Britain, embodied in the 'August Offer' of 1940. Gandhi's strength lay in ideological commitment which was, in the end, ravaged by the communal violence that engineered partition. The price of this epic confrontation, paid by the people, has stretched into generations. M.J. Akbar's book, meticulously researched from original sources, reveals the astonishing blunders, lapses and conscious chicanery that permeated the politics of seven explosive years between 1940 and 1947. Facts from the archives challenge the conventional narrative, and disturb the conspiratorial silence used to protect the image of famous icons. Gandhi's Hinduism: The Struggle Against Jinnah's Islam delves into both the ideology and the personality of those who shaped the fate of a region between Iran and Burma. It is essential reading for anyone interested in modern Indian history, and the past as a prelude to the future.
Download or read book Eight Lives written by Rajmohan Gandhi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1986-03-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written by a Hindu, the grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi. His intent, in writing on eight Muslims and their influence on India in the twentieth century, is to reduce the gulf between Hindu and Muslims. Focusing on figures viewed as heroes by sub-continent Muslims, he shows that they can be admired by Hindus as well—that they need not be frozen in Hindu minds as foes. Here is a fascinating account of twentieth-century India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh told through biographical sketches of eight men: Sayyid Ahmed Khan (1817-1898), Fazlul Huq (1873-1962), Muhammad Ali Jinnah (1876-1948), Muhammad Iqbal (1876-1938), Muhammad Ali (1878-1931), Abul Kalam Azad (1888-1958), Liaqat Ali Khan (1895-1951), and Zakir Husain (1897-1969).

Download or read book Gandhi written by B.R. Nanda and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-12-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindu–Muslim conflict was a major problem during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. This book shows how Mahatma Gandhi resolved the conflict and even united the Hindus and the Muslims. It presents a detailed introduction to the Khilafat (Pan-Islamist) movement, a venture that Gandhi supported wholeheartedly. The discussion looks at Gandhi’s non-cooperation movement, which, he believed, could help bridge the gap between the two communities. It discusses concepts such as mass civil disobedience and the Caliphate, and studies notable events such as the brief alliance between the British Raj and the Indian Muslims and the Mappila Rebellion. It also takes note of the responses of the British officials towards Gandhi’s efforts and the confrontation that nearly occurred between the Viceroy and Gandhi. The book introduces readers to some of the people who participated and contributed to these events, including the Ali Brothers, Syed Ahmad Khan, and Ameer Ali.
Download or read book THOUGHTS ON PAKISTAN written by M.K. GANDHI and published by THE DIALOGUE TODAY. This book was released on with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Muslim Leaguers have today raised the slogan that ten crores of Indian Muslims are in danger of being submerged and swept out of existence, unless they constitute themselves into a separate state. I call the slogan scare-mongering, pure and simple. It is nonsense to say that any people can permanently crush or swamp out of existence one-fourth of its population which the Mussalman's are in India. But, I would have no hesitation in conceding the demand of Pakistan if I could be convincedof its righteousness of that it is good for Islam. But I am firmly convinced that the Pakistan demand as put forth by the Muslim League is un-islamic and I have not hesitated to call it sinful. Islam stands for the unity and brotherhood of mankind not for disrupting the oneness of the human family. Therefore, those who want to divide India into possibly warring groups are enemies alike of India and Islam. They cut me to pieces but they cannot make me subscribe to something which I consider to be wrong." - M.K. Gandhi to the Muslim Leaguers and M.A. Jinnah (Harijan-Oct 6, 1946) At this juncture we should try to understand the genesis of this almost pathological abhorrence of Gandhiji to the concept of Pakistan and consequent partitioning of India and trace its roots. We must keep in mind two fundamental tenets of Gandhian philosophy which principally governed the thought process behind penning the articles that follow in this book. The views & sentiments expressed in this book of Mahatma Gandhi some seventy four years ago hold good even today. The very demand of Pakistan he has characterised as a sin. The recent tragic happenings have amply proved what an unmitigated sin it is. A complete and coherent picture of the Pakistan problem as viewed by Gandhi has been reproduced from the pages of Harijan, (which he edited), besides many press notes on the issue. At the end copious appendixes have also been incorporated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders of the countrys freedom movement accepted partition of the Indian Sub-continent (albeit reluctantly) as the only solution to Hindu-Muslim problem under conditions then obtaining in the country. Pakistan drove out all Hindus and Sikhs and has, therefore, solved the problem once and for all times. India has sizeable Muslim population even after partition. This population has been steadily growing. The Hindu-Muslim problem remains far from solved so far as India is concerned. Mahatma Gandhi spent his life-time in solving the problem but failed completely. Will the small men who shout Gandhis name from the house-top succeed where the formidable Mahatma had himself failed? What are the implications of a second failure on the Hindu-Muslim front?

Download or read book Gandhi and the Challenge of Religious Diversity written by Margaret Chatterjee and published by Bibliophile South Asia. This book was released on 2005 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author relates Gandhi's response to the challenge of religious diversity to his awareness of other pluralities - social, economic and political. To Gandhi, religion was not an isolated marker of identity. Beginning with his own Hindu heritage, his relations with Muslims, Christians, Jains and Jews are presented as the basis for his faith that separate heritages could be shared and all could engage in common tasks. His early contact with non-theist thought systems in fin de siècle London, his strong reaction to Curzon's Convocation address in Calcutta University, the pedagogic implicate of the prayer meetings, his attitude to conversion, his special relation to Quakers, and why toleration was not enough, are some of the fresh perspectives offered. Philosophers of religion who analyse religious pluralism, students of modern Indian history, and the general reader concerned about the conflictual role that religion appears to have in the contemporary world, will not fail to find this new study of Gandhi fascinating.
