The Political Relevance And Global Impact Of Mahatma...

Niloufer Bhagwat’s â€Å"The Political Relevance and Global Impact of Mahatma Gandhi† conveys her stance on Gandhi’s influence on how different groups of people combated forms of oppression. Bhagwat says â€Å"wherever the political, economic, social, and ecological future of humanity and†¦ earth is debated and discussed, Gandhiji with his simple precepts provides a guidance for all generations† (Bhagwat 33).
