The book THE INDIA OF MY DREAMS is a collection of passages taken from the writings and speeches of Mahatma Gandhi. In this book the author discusses various aspects of Indian culture, its heritage and society in general. The changing socio-economic and political scenario is compared with that of the past and Gandhi's various experiences have been discussed in this book. As the author observed, from time immemorial our country has been known throughout the world as KARMBHUMI and not as BHOGABHUMI. It is essentially the land of duty, not the land of fun. The author envisions a free and strong India so that for the betterment of the world at large she can offer herself a willing and willing sacrifice. The destiny of the nation does not lie in the bloody path of the West, because it shows the characteristics of tiredness. Rather, destiny lies along the bloodless path of peace that comes from simple living and high thinking. When discussing the idea and philosophy of Swaraj, the author is crystal clear in observing that until there is everyone's acquisition of the ability to resist authority when it is abused, the true Swaraj will not see the day of light. Swaraj means complete independence from foreign control and complete economic independence. The author further argued that Swaraj can be maintained only when there is a majority of loyal and patriotic people for whom the nation is paramount. If many are immoral or selfish, there will only be anarchy in government. The author argues that democracy is the highest form of freedom. But this freedom also brings with it the measure of discipline and humility. He rightly argued that democracy is the greatest institution in the world, so there is a high probability of it being greatly abused...middle of paper...etc. On the cause of communalism, i.e. Hindu-Muslim conflict, Gandhi observed that there cannot be a more important and urgent issue than this, as it blocks all progress. His observation on the importance of finding a solution to the conflict for the future integrity and well-being of India continues to hold true, even though he may not have realized that what appears to be a perennial conflict between India's two largest communities It's not about religion. The dominant Hindu image of the Muslim encountered in many parts of the country, and especially when intercommunal tension is high, is that of a powerful, animalistic Muslim. Muslims also see Hindus as cruel and cowardly people. And in both communities, community identities also tend to be less important to women than men, a difference that appears to be rooted in their developmental histories..
