Produktbeschreibung

In "Third Class in Indian Railways," Mahatma Gandhi employs a keen observational style to expose the stark realities of travel in India during the British colonial era. This work navigates beyond mere critique; it offers a profound exploration of social classes, caste disparities, and the impact of colonialism on everyday life. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Gandhi paints a poignant picture of the everyday struggles faced by the lower classes, engaging readers with both his narrative and philosophical insights. The book acts as a social commentary, emphasizing the need for reform and the dignity of the marginalized. Mahatma Gandhi, known primarily for his role as a leader in India's struggle for independence, was deeply influenced by his experiences and background. His formative years in early 20th-century India exposed him to the inequities wrought by British rule. Influenced by his legal education in London and experiences in South Africa, Gandhi's emerging philosophy focused on nonviolent resistance and social justice, making "Third Class in Indian Railways" a critical early manifestation of these ideals. This book is highly recommended for those interested in understanding the socio-political landscape of India under British colonialism, as well as for readers curious about Gandhi'Äôs formative thoughts on social equity and justice. It is a compelling invitation to reflect on the intersections of class, society, and the human condition.

Autorenporträt

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was the prominent figure in the freedom struggle in India from the British rule. He is also known as the 'The Father of the Nation', in India. The author has written a number of books and some of them include Character & Nation Building, India of My Dreams, and All Men are Brothers. The author was born on the 2nd of October, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat. In the year 1942, he played a key role in launching the Quit India movement, which was intended at forcing the British to leave the nation. As a result of launching this movement, he was thrown in prison and remained there for several years, due to other political offenses allegedly committed by him. At all times, he practised satyagraha, which is the teaching of non-violence. As the British rule ended, he was saddened by India's partition, and tried his best to bring peace among the Sikhs and Muslims. On the 30th of January, 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by a Hindu nationalist, for allegedly being highly concerned about the nation's Muslim population.
