Gandhi and the Debate about Civilisation

Vol. 50, Issue No. 30, 25 Jul, 2015
Lloyd I Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph

For Gandhi, the national question was much more than a struggle between two culturally-defined civilisations. For him, getting rid of colonial rule was part of a larger project to replace and resist modern civilisation. This article situates Gandhi's endeavour against the backdrop of the romantic vision of India's past, envisaged by the Orientalists, and the disparaging perspective of the Utilitarians and the evangelists.

Gandhi in the Mind of America

Vol. 45, Issue No. 47, 20 Nov, 2010
Lloyd I Rudolph

Gandhi first entered American public consciousness in 1921 when John Haynes Holmes declared him to be the greatest man in the world. Eighty years later, Time's 31 December 1999 end-of-thecentury issue named Gandhi (along with Albert Einstein and Franklin Roosevelt) as "Person of the Century". Gandhi has re-entered American consciousness with the recent visit to India of an American president who, in his Nobel Peace Prize speech of 10 December 2009, made clear that he admired and learned from Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Transformation of Congress Party-Why 1980 Was Not a Restoration

Vol. 16, Issue No. 18, 02 May, 1981
Lloyd I Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph

THE mid-term parliamentary election of 1980 appeared to restore the political universe that had supported one party dominance by the Indian National Congress. Indira Gandhi led the Congress to an unanticipated victory.

Karuna Ahmed, Lloyd I Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph

Lloyd I Rudolph Susanne Hoeber Rudolph Karuna Ahmed The emergence of youth as a new political class is a consequence of the creation and prolongation of youth as a distinctive life-stage with its attendant cultures and social arrangements.

Lloyd I Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph

Susanne Hoeber Rudolph Responsibility for education lies primarily on the States.

The Private Origins of a Public Ethic

Vol. 2, Issue No. 31, 05 Aug, 1967
Lloyd I Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph
