This encyclopaedia is an attempt to present for the readers various dimensions of the philosophy of the man regarded as the apostle of Satyagraha and Nonviolence. Encompassing a wide arena of Gandhian thought, the encyclopaedia presents an incisive and insightful exploration of Gandhi’s outlook on society religion, politics, economics, women and so on. In addition, a book has also been included in this encyclopaedia which brings under one head a compilation of numerous perspectives on Gandhian philosophy, taking a look at the dichotomy created by the eulogization of Gandhi by some, and contempt for him by others. It is hoped that this endeavour is rendered successful by the provision of a critical insight into Gandhian thought for the readers.
