Gandhi’s relationship with women has proved irresistibly fascinating to many, but it is surprising how little scholarly work has been undertaken on his attitudes to and relationships with women. Going Native details Gandhi’s relationship with Western women, including those who inspired him, worked with him, supported him in his political activities in South Africa, or helped shape his international image. Of particular note are those women who ‘went native’ to live with Gandhi as close friends and disciples, those who were drawn to him because of a shared interest in celibacy, those who came seeking a spiritual master, or came because of mental confusion. Some joined him because they were fixated on his person rather than because of an interest in his social programme. Through these fascinating women, we get a different insight into Gandhi, who encouraged them to come and then was often captivated, and at times exasperated, by them.

Bogen Gandhis ven skildrer Anne Marie Petersens liv, herunder de mennesker og begivenheder i Danmark og i Indien, der var med til at forme hendes liv og virke. Anne Marie Petersen arbejdede som grundtvigsk missionær i Indien fra 1909 - 1951 på et meget afgørende tidspunkt i Indiens nyere historie. I store dele af denne periode kæmpede landet for sin frihed fra den britiske kolonimagt i særdeleshed under ledelse af Mahatma Gandhi. Mødet med den indiske befolkning og særligt Anne Marie Petersens møde og venskab med Mahatma Gandhi fik stor og afgørende betydning for hende og det arbejde, hun rejste ud for at udføre. Hendes grundtvigske tanker om folkelighed og respekt for andre menneskers særpræg og egenart medførte, at hun mange gange i sit liv måtte træffe afgørende valg. Bogen GANDHIS VEN er derfor også en historie om det at have et mål og gå efter det mål uanset hvad, omverden måtte mene og om at bevare sin integritet. I 1921 lagde Mahatma Gandhi grundstenen til den pigeskole, der efter få år i Indien blev Anne Marie Petersens kald og virke. Hundredevis af piger fik et hjem og en tryg opvækst med skolegang og muligheder.
A collection of essays by distinguished scholars, this book delineates a substantial conception of democracy, the great promise as well as the pitfalls of a democratic mentality and culture. These essays go beyond the institutional and formal descriptions of democracy to its underlying cultural context — expressed both historically and analytically, descriptively and normatively.
