Gandhi’s Faith and Ours

Ramachandra Guha

0/5 ( ratings)

Around 1980, Ramachandra Guha initiated an argument with the philosopher Ramachandra 'Ramu' Gandhi, about the latter's grandfather. He wanted to strip Mahatma Gandhi of his spiritual connotations, and see him in a purely secular way. However, Ramu did not agree with his beliefs, stating that the Mahatma without faith was no longer the Mahatma.

In Gandhi's Faith and Ours, Guha delves deeper into Gandhi's status as a Hindu, his ideologies and beliefs, his tolerance of other faiths and the source to his view that that all men are born equal with references to works by J.T.F. Jordens and others.

Read on to discover the reasons behind the complete reversal in Guha's understanding of the Mahatma and to know more about how Gandhi's faith extended beyond his own existence and still plays a role in religious ideologies of today.
