$37.50
“Re-Evaluating Gandhi: How He Delayed Independence and Mainstreamed Radical Islam” by Dr. Susmit Kumar offers a critical analysis of Mahatma Gandhi’s role in India’s struggle for independence. The book challenges the traditional narrative, suggesting that Gandhi’s actions may have postponed India’s liberation and inadvertently promoted radical elements within the Muslim community. Dr. Kumar delves into Gandhi’s involvement with the Khilafat Movement, arguing that his support for this cause elevated fringe Islamist factions over secular leadership, ultimately contributing to the Partition of India. The work is grounded in archival research, including declassified British documents, and posits that figures like Subhash Chandra Bose and the threat of mutiny within the Indian armed forces were more instrumental in achieving independence than Gandhi’s initiatives.
