In a Gentle Way We Can Shake the World: Mahatma Gandhi and Today's Global Challenges

Is the legacy of great Mahatma Gandhi as timeless as it is made out to be ? Does his soul force revolution have any relevance in this era of technological revolution and artificial intelligence ? Are his ideas really actionable or mere symbolism ? Who could have answered these questions better than the generation which is going to lead the world into the future! This thought-provoking collection of writings—sensitive and sharp, evocative and endearing—written by school students from India was selected through a rigorous process and is accompanied with similarly selected pithy illustrations. A valuable insight into how the young generation perceives contemporary global challenges,like climate change and terrorism, and importantly, the Gandhian thoughts of truth and nonviolence, this book is a glowing tribute to the Mahatma on his 150th anniversary.
