Gandhi and the Ali Brothers
The campaign of the Khilafat Movement and the Ali brothers' close collaboration with Gandhi are well acknowledged in the pages of history. It is also well known that after the collapse of the Khilafat-Non-cooperation Movement, the relationship between them became strenuous, and the Ali brothers moved away from Gandhi. But what is not so well known is that the promise of the relationship when it was forged was astounding, and Gandhi saw it as a solution to the problem of Hindu-Muslim unity, which he considered fundamental to India's independence. This book is a study of the relationship between Gandhi and the Ali brothers mainly in the context of the Non-cooperation and Khilafat Movements, fo...

The essays in this volume reflect this eclecticism: they reflect on concerns of contemporary conflicts in world politics; the dissection of the ideas of peace and power; the way peace studies join with global agencies; peace and conflict in connection to geopolitics and identity; the domestic basis of conflict in India and the Sout...
Tagore’s Solutions for Colonial Degeneration
This book focuses on Rabindranath Tagore as a social and political thinker revolving around Tagore’s ideas on the seeds of civil society, nation, identities, and communities in the Indic tradition. The author deconstructs Tagore’s concepts against the appropriate resurgent and triumphalist Western concepts in the updated Western social thought and theories. The book examines Tagore’s understanding of the nature of the civil social sphere in India and analyzes the relevance of his civil social concepts against the backdrop of colonialism in India. It also discusses his views on nation and nationalism in India and his insights into the problems and prospects of intercommunity, particularly Hindu-Muslim relations in India. Applying current social science and Western literature in an unprecedented manner to interpret Tagore, this book will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of politics, nationalism, postcolonialism, history, comparative literature, sociology, religious studies, and South Asian studies.
