Synopsis The present book evaluates tenets of Gandhian philosophy in relation to contemporary social realities. Globalised Scenario has made impact and caused multifaceted effect on Indian social fabric. After over six decades of independence, the Indian socio-political scene and economic realities have undergone a lot of change, but one aspect which has remained unchanged is the utility and relevance of Gandhian philosophy, thought and ideas. Whatever be the changes, the Gandhian aspects of livelihood and social reality are of basic importance even today, and would, in all likelihood remain so in the decades and centuries to come. Gandhiji believed and preached for peace and harmony in society and experimented with the truth and morality of life. The research papers cover majority of social aspects of common man's life from education, aesthetics, foreign affairs, social peace, international affairs, social justice etc.

The contributors have analysed the problems from various angles and evaluated the feasibility of remedial means to overcome and solve these problems. Their evaluation proves the utility and pin points that the relevance of Gandhi is more pertinent in the contemporary globalised social scenario than it was during forties, fifties and sixties. Gandhian ideals would nurture and strengthen the social fabric and pave the way for peace in society and the world.
