Introduction -- The intellectual roots of the confluence of thought -- Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.: defying liberals, but deifying liberalism -- Articulation of a new ideology: Gandhi's approach to human equality -- Challenging Jim Crow: King's approach to racial discrimination -- Conclusion |
| Summary |
The aim of this book is to understand the complex evolution of the socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King and also their confluence in the specific context of India and America respectively. Based on a threadbare analysis of socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King, the book argues that the moral politics of redemptive love and non-violence that they consistently pursued represents an appealing vision for the present century |
