About the Book

"Gandhi’s Vision: Freedom and Beyond" is an insightful narrative that encapsulates the transformative journey of India’s independence under the leadership of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Written to commemorate 71 years of India’s freedom, this book delves into the pivotal events that not only led to the birth of a nation but also presented a vision of a united India, where people from all walks of life—Hindus, Muslims, Parsis, peasants, landlords, workers, capitalists, men, women, young and old—came together in the spirit of patriotism and non-violence.

Aparna Basu offers a comprehensive account of Gandhi's unique leadership, highlighting his methods of non-violence and his relentless efforts to address social evils such as communalism, untouchability, and gender disparity. These issues, which Gandhi strived to eradicate, still resonate in today’s world, making his teachings as relevant today as they were during the freedom struggle.

The book is not just a historical account but a reflection on the vision Gandhi had for a socially inclusive, peaceful India. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the core principles that shaped the Indian independence movement and continue to influence the nation’s progress.
