PRAISE FOR GANDHI STRUGGLING FOR AUTONOMY

Ronald Terckek’s Republican Paradoxes was a timely retrieval of a neglected strand in Western political theory. His present book, Gandhi, almost compels us to redo a good deal of our politics and our political theory in terms of Gandhi’s distinctive idea of the integrity and worth of everyone.
-Thomas Pantham, Professor, University of Baroda, and Mahatma Gandhi National Fellow (ICSSR)

-Anthony Parel, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Calgary

-Naresh Dhadhich, Professor and Director of the Center for Gandhian Studies, University of Rajasthan
