About the Seminar

Mahatma Gandhi remains a critical reference point to exhibitplurality of ideas not only in the context of India, during the Indian freedom struggle and post-independence period, but in the entire world which increasingly faces today a near possibility of a nuclear holocaust threatening the entire mankind. The efforts to transform the culture of war and violence into culture of peace and non-violence have so far not succeeded. There is increasing realisation that peace is not merely an absence of violence but is intimately linked with issues of justice as reflected in the several struggles for justice waged in different parts of the world. The challenge is to transform violent struggles into non-violent ones aimed at stirring and mobilisingsociety into a wider dialogue on the fundamental and ethical issues. This debate has to be converted into a critical mass so as to sensitise the educators, academicians, activist- members of the civil society, policy makers and students at all levels.
