The book THE INDIA OF MY DREAMS is a collection of passages from the writings and speeches of Mahatma Gandhi. In this book, the author discusses different 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 various experiences of Gandhi have been discussed in this book. As the author has observed, since time immemorial our country is known throughout the world as KARMBHUMI and not BHOGABHUMI. It is essentially the land of duty and not the land of enjoyment. The author envisions a free and strong India so that for the sake of the world at large, it can offer 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 fatigue. Rather, destiny lies on the path to the bloodless peace that comes from simple living and high thinking. When discussing the idea and philosophy of Swaraj, the author is very clear in observing that unless all acquire the ability to resist authority when it is abused, true Swaraj will not see not during the day. Swaraj means complete independence from foreign control and complete economic independence. The author further argued that Swaraj can be sustained only when there is a majority of loyal and patriotic people for whom the nation is paramount. If the majority is immoral or selfish, there will only be anarchy in government. The author argues that democracy is the highest form of freedom. But this freedom, in itself, also carries the guarantee of discipline and humility. He rightly argued that democracy is the greatest institution in the world and therefore there is a high chance of significant abuse...... middle of paper ...... and . On the cause of communalism, i.e. Hindu-Muslim conflict, Gandhi observed that there cannot be a bigger and more urgent problem than this, because 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 remains valid, even though he may not have understood that what seems to be an eternal conflict between the two largest Indian communities is not a question of religion. The dominant Hindu image of the Muslim, encountered in many parts of the country, and especially when tensions between communities are high, is that of the powerful and animal Muslim. Muslims also consider Hindus to be a cruel and cowardly people. And in both communities, communal identities also tend to be less salient for women than for men, a difference that appears to be rooted in their developmental history..
