Synopsis Communal harmony, value based politics and morality and ethics in public life are among those important characteristics and as far as possible make Ahimsa the basis of day to day behaviour which can be assumed as the foundation of views and practices of Mahatma Gandhi also. Not only have the followers of Gandhi or admirers of his principles but also his critics taken these characteristics seriously. They accept them to be significant for the welfare of people. This volume entitled, "Mahatma Gandhi: At the Close of Twentieth Century", contains a collection of articles of a number of renowned scholars of India and abroad, of which more than half are quite young, that proves that younger generation wants to know about Gandhi and his views. Many youths are eager to work on him and they want to convey his message of Sarvodaya to the whole world in which as he himself has said, "A life of service must be one of humility which means most strenuous and constant endeavour entirely directed to the service of humanity." It is hoped that this book will be very useful to general readers and all those interested in the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi.
