Uncovering the relevance of Gandhi in modern times.

This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the Gandhian way and its significance in our present world.

Through the perspective of a teenage protagonist, the story captivates readers with its engaging narrative and challenges them to reflect on the role of nonviolence and compassion in their own lives. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and embrace the ideals of Gandhi in today's turbulent times.

Description

How many times are kids supposed to study Gandhi? Come September and out
comes the bald head wig, round glasses, white dhoti, tall stick ... that's
about the extent of how today's kids engage with the Mahatma.
Chandrashekhar is one such teen. Bored by the annual Gandhi projects, he
wonders if his teacher is being too unreasonable in asking them to "BE"
Gandhi. And then, his world is shaken by events that rock him to the core,
forcing him to dig deep and not just find his 'inner Gandhi', but become
Gandhi. Not for a day or two. But, maybe even, for life. This is a novel
that explores, not Gandhi the man or his life as a leader, but really the
Gandhian way that must remain relevant to us. Especially today when the
world is becoming increasingly steeped in violence and hate.
