Non-Violence vs Politics of Hate: Does Gandhi Still Matter?

Описание: Journalist Asad Ashraf speaks with Professor Apoorvanand on Mahatma Gandhi’s life, politics, economics, and death. The conversation moves beyond familiar narratives to examine Gandhi as a political thinker and moral force, his ideas on non-violence, mass politics, and his critique of modern civilisation and economics.

The discussion also reflects on Gandhi’s assassination and the continuing discomfort his ideas create in contemporary India. Rather than treating Gandhi as a distant historical figure, this dialogue asks what his life and thoughts mean for our present political and social moment.
