Gandhian concept of interdependence is highly conducive for the global peace, moral and economic progress of India and the rest of the world. In the context, role of Professional social work has been delimited by using the theory centripetal against that of centrifugal to mobilise, organise people to get their participation and raise their voice against the suffering and oppression for thousands of years. The case studies of Salt Satyagraha and networking will be found highly illuminating. The book gives concrete steps for practical work and would be found inspirational and extremely useful for the younger generation to know him and to follow his path of noncooperation and nonviolence to redress their grievances and problems. Gandhian teachings are the great and benign lamp of wisdom and humanity. These are for eternity. Followed sincerely may help us to arrest corruption and decline in moral values. The most pathetic person in the world is one who has sight but no vision. Life is not a brief candle. It is a sort of splendid torch which we have to hold for the moment and make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.
