Synopsis Gandhi was profoundly disturbed by the degenerate state of Indian society. One of his lifelong preoccupations was to explore a new moral order appropriate to India in the modern age. How he went about this task is the central concern of this widely acclaimed book on Gandhi, first published in 1989. This revised edition includes a new chapter dealing with the Marxist critique of Gandhi. It also incorporates new and hitherto inaccessible material, takes into account recent published works on Gandhi, and draws upon the author's own deeper understanding of Gandhi
