‘He stopped at the threshold of the huts of the thosands of dispossessed, dressed like one of their own’, so remarks Rabindranath Tagore on Mahatma Gandhi, the apostle of inward aesthetic excellence of humanity.
The Gandhian aesthetics of non-violence or of religion, of nationalism and internationalism or of Sarvodaya is a thrilling and pulsating study of the eternal quest for aesthetic and total efflorescence of man as Gandhian aesthetics truly represents, paves an avenue of living, dynamic and unending exercise of nobler and finer aesthetic sensibilities of mankind.
“The Gandhian Aesthetics of Social Awareness” is an intensive endeavour to discover and re-discover Truth, Beauty and Goodness in the light of the Gandhian aesthetics of social awareness, which might invite learned criticism from the arena of Gandhian thinkers on aesthetics.
An unusually neglected area, Gandhian Aesthetics is, no doubt, a bold debut in Gandhian studies.
