Mahatma Gandhi and the Bahá'ísStriving towards a Nonviolent CivilizationbyM. V. GandhimohanCopyright © 2000 Bahá'í Publishing Trust of India New Delhi |
Our struggle towards a peaceful planetary culture that upholds social justice and sustainability at every level from the global to the personal requires us to look beyond globalization. In this context, Mahatma Gandhi and the Bahá'ís introduces the reader to a vision of a non-violent civilization as described in the writings of M. K. Gandhi and of the Bahá'í Faith. Questioning mainstream political, economic, social, and religious notions of success, M. V. Gandhimohan's critical analysis paints an optimistic future of an ever-advancing civilization that cultivates unity in diversity.
Born in Chennai (Madras) and raised in Rio de Janeiro, M. V. Gandhimohan went on to get his B.A. from Oxford University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Boston University. He is now a university professor in the northeastern Brazilian city of Maceió and, along with his American-born wife, is one of the founding members of the SISGLOBAL --- The Center for Studies and Research for a Democratic System of Global Governance, based in Brasília. He has been an active member of the Bahá'í community ever since he joined the community over ten years ago.
