GH 333 - Life and Times of Gandhi. 3 Credits.

Offered every other autumn. Reflecting upon the life, ideas, work, and legacy of perhaps the single most important figure in India's national freedom movement, and surely one of the most remarkable figures anywhere in the past century, Mohandas K. (“Mahatma”) Gandhi, this course will examine some of Gandhi’s own major writings, as well as different analyses of Gandhianism put forth by various critics inside and outside of India. We will begin with two of Gandhi’s own writings, the autobiographical Story of My Experiments with Truth, and his seminal treatise on politics and civilization, Hind Swaraj. Then, we will investigate a variety of interpretive approaches to his life and work, ranging from the dramatic (Richard Attenborough’s Academy Award winning film “Gandhi”) and the fictional (Raja Rao’s Kanthapura) to the dramatic-documentarial (“The Making of the Mahatma”) and the social-scientific (Susanne and Lloyd Rudolph’s Gandhi: The Traditional Roots of Charisma). Gandhi’s spiritual life and its place in his politics will also be examined, as will his social activism. Finally, we will consider aspects of Gandhi’s ongoing influence within and without India, such as the impact of his life and teachings on social activists and reformers like Sunderlal Bahugana in India and Martin Luther King, Jr. in America.
