Gandhi's dedication to finding a path of liberation from an epidemic of violence has been well documented before. The central issue and the novelty of this book is its focus on what Gandhi wanted to liberate us for. The book also provides an assessment of how viable his positive vision of humanity is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGandhi revolutionized the struggle for Indian liberation from Great Britain by convincing his countrymen that they must turn to nonviolence and that India needed to be liberated from its social ills--poverty, unemployment, opium addiction, institution of child marriage, inequality of women, and Hindu-Muslim frictions--even more than it needed political freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Gandhi's legacy has not been forgotten, it has often been distorted. He is called \"Mahatma\" and venerated as a saint, but not followed and often misinterpreted. Predrag Cicovacki attempts to de-mythologize Gandhi and take a closer look at his thoughts, aims, and struggles. He invites us to look at the footprints Gandhi left for us, and follow them as carefully and critically as possible. Cicovacki concludes that Gandhi's spiritual vision of humanity and the importance of adherence to truth (\u003cem\u003esatyagraha)\u003c\/em\u003eare his lasting legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Predrag Cicovacki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412862647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412862646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Predrag Cicovacki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622119813375,"sku":"9781412862646","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gandhis-footprints-predrag-cicovacki-9781412862646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
