Gandhi and Anarchy

A critical examination of Gandhi's philosophy argues that his advocacy of non-cooperation and nonviolent resistance misleads the national movement by undermining constitutional efforts and moral discipline. The author analyzes specific policy debates including the Khilafat question, boycotts of councils and goods, education, legal practice, and the merits of individual civil disobedience, and links these tactics to unrest in several provinces. Extensive appendices compile speeches, official statements, petitions, incident lists, and contemporary commentary intended to document consequences and to support a case for alternative political strategies.
