India of my Dreams

About India of my Dreams

"I shall work for an India, in which the poorest shall feel that it is their country in whose making they have an effective voice; an India in which all communities shall live in perfect harmony. There can be no room in such an India for the curse of untouchability, or the curse of intoxicating drinks and drugs. Women will enjoy the same rights as men. Since we shall be at peace with all the rest of the world, neither exploiting, nor being exploited, we should have the smallest army imaginable. All interests not in conflict with the interests of the dumb millions will be scrupulously respected, whether foreign or indigenous. Personally, I hate distinction between foreign and indigenous. This is the India of my dreams. I shall be satisfied with nothing less."-M. K. GandhiThis book is a collection of passages from speeches and writings of Gandhi showcasing how he envisaged India. Enumerating his views and ideas on various socio-political, cultural and economic issues, the book renders a fascinating insight into Gandhi's ideologies and his dream of a prosperous and vibrant India.
