Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi

During his campaign against racism in South Africa, and his involvement in the Congress-led nationalist struggle against British colonial rule in India, Mahatma Gandhi developed a new form of political struggle based on the idea of satyagraha, or non-violent protest. He ushered in a new era of nationalism in India by articulating the nationalist protest in the language of non-violence, or ahisma, that galvanized the masses into action. Focusing on the principles of satyagraha and non-violence, and their evolution in the context of anti-imperial movements organized by Gandhi, this fascinating book looks at how these precepts underwent changes reflecting the ideological beliefs of the participants. Assessing Gandhi and his ideology, the text centres on the ways in which Gandhi took into account the views of other leading personalities of the era whilst articulating his theory of action.

Critical Concepts in Linguistics

The main aim of this paper is to examine some of these myths and to try to reveal
the realities behind them. I argue that as long as the myths are accepted as
givens there can be no real progress in the study of the New Varieties. I will
explore the myths in the context of IndE but the arguments provided apply to all
the New Varieties. The myths I will deal with are: 1 IndE is a "non-native" variety
of English. 2 IndE has no standards. 3 IndE lacks creativity. 4 IndE is the

Pierre Cachia's introduction to the various forms of Arabic literature is not restricted to any set literary theory. The author describes and illustrates the directions the literature has taken over the ages.
