Mahatma Gandhi has been hailed as the Man of the Twenty-first century. His life and times neatly spreads over three centuries. Born in the latter half of the I9th century, when colonialism spurred by fierce industrialism and consumerism were the dominant ideologies. He develops in the 20th century a comprehensive socio-economic and political theory which embraces every aspect of the life of an individual and society to challenge the prevailing norm.
