Gandhi Beyond the Textbook

20 Ideas for Modern Life

Twenty of Gandhi's ideas, from truth as an experiment to the seven social sins, traced to his own words and turned into practical experiments for school, work, and home. A source-checked book that also shows what the textbook leaves out: the misquotes, the debates, and the criticism.
