The Death and Afterlife of Mahatma Gandhi by Makarand Paranjape
This text examines why and how Gandhi and his ideas continue to matter. It captures what it is that makes him challenge, puzzle, and exasperate, to discover how he continues to be relevant, even contemporary, and to define what saves him from simply fading into oblivion."A remarkable work of research and analysis... it is obvious that you have come up with a most valuable text."
Rajmohan Gandhi, Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, former member of the Indian Parliament, and a grandson of the Mahatma.
"...New, creative, and daring interpretations.... little patience with the Gandhi hagiography and with devotees and critics simply recycling the same tired interpretations for decades. ... the lively engaging writing style and the challenging creative interpretations are definite strengths."
"...fascinating and thought-provoking sections getting at the patricide, Oedipus Complex...your central interpretation is daring and challenging...."
Douglas Allen, University of Maine
"You have made your readers understand Gandhi’s life in a new way--by understanding the meaning and the manner of his death. This is an original approach to Gandhi and you make a most welcome addition to the Gandhi literature."
Professor Anthony J. Parel, Calgary University
