Drawing heavily on the writings of porfessor D.S. kothari and matatma gandhi, this book analyses the concepts of truth in science and religion.

The first of two volumes, this book examines Gandhi’s contribution to an understanding of the scientific and evolutionary basis of the psychology of nonviolence, through the lens of contemporary researches on human cognition, empathy, morality and self-control. While, psychological science has focused on those participants that delivered electric shocks in Professor Stanley Milgram’s famous experiments, these books begin from the premise that we have neglected to fully explore why the other participants walked away. Building on emergent research in the psychology of self control and wisdom, the authors illustrate what Gandhi’s life and work offers to our understanding of these subjects who disobeyed and defied Milgram. The authors analyze Gandhi’s actions and philosophy, as well as original interviews with his contemporaries, to elaborate a modern scientific psychology of nonviolence from the principles he enunciated and which were followed so successfully in his Satyagrahas. Gandhi, they argue, was a practical psychologist from whom we can derive a science of nonviolence which, as Volume 2 will illustrate, can be applied to almost every subfield of psychology, but particularly to those addressing the most urgent issues of the 21st century. This book is the result of four decades of collaborative work between the authors. It marks a unique contribution to studies of both Gandhi and the current trends in psychological research that will appeal in particular to scholars of social change, peace studies and peace psychology, and, serve as an exemplar in teaching one of modern psychology’s hitherto neglected perspectives.

The Book Tries To Trace The Relationship Between Gandhian Approach To Development And Social Work. It Addresses Issues Like Environment, Bhoodan And Gramdan, Community Development, Peoples Participation, Dalit Empowerment Etc.

Free and compulsory education to all children up to the age of fourteen is a Constitutional commitment in India. At the time of adoption of the Constitution in 1950, the aim was to achieve the goal of Universal Elementary Education (UEE) within the next ten years. Keeping in view the educational facilities available in the country, at that time, the goal was far too ambitious to be achieved within a short span of ten years. Hence, the target date has to be shifted a number of times.

The book attempts to establish dialogue and build bridges in these polarizing times when politics divide us more than at any time. By focusing on significant nation-builders, from Mahatma Gandhi to Narendra Modi, the book makes a compelling case for going beyond the narrow ideological divide and welcomes the readers to engage with the unison and integration of political thoughts and actions. The book argues that starting from Gandhi, Nehru, Bose, Savarkar, Ambedkar, Patel, Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, VP Singh Chandrasekhar, Narasimha Rao, and Atal B. Vajpayee, Modi is only taking forward the nation in Amrit Kaal on the lines which his predecessors drew. The book shows the amalgamation of ideological diversities in national unity!

In volume 1 of Gandhi and the Psychology of Nonviolence the authors advanced a scientific psychology of nonviolence, derived from principles enunciated by Gandhi and supported by current state-of-the-art research in psychology. In this second volume the authors demonstrate its potential contribution across a wide range of applied psychology fields. As we enter the era of the Anthropocene, they argue, it is imperative to make use of Gandhi’s legacy through our evolving noospheric consciousness to address the urgent problems of the 21st century. The authors examine Gandhi’s contributions in the context of both established areas such as the psychology of religion, educational, community and organizational psychology and newer fields including environmental psychology and the psychology of technology. They provide a nuanced analysis which engages with both the latest research and the practical implications for initiatives like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The book concludes with an overview of Gandhi’s contribution to modern psychology, which encompasses the history, development, and current impetus behind emerging work in the field as a whole. It marks an exciting contribution to studies of both Gandhi and psychology that will also provide unique insights for scholars of applied psychology, education, environmental and development studies.
