Beskrivning

A fascinating discussion of Gandhi’s moral values and art stance, providing contemporary ethical reflections.In Discovering Each Other and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan reflects on Gandhi’s political and cultural role in India and what lessons can be learned and applied more broadly. He explores how Gandhi’s moral values compared with his stance on art, while also investigating how traditional crafts can survive in an industrial world. He asks what role policymakers can play in the sustainability of manual crafts and investigates how the perception of tribal communities and their art changed in India over time. Subramanyan brings his trademark candor, lucidity, and wisdom to these reflections and responses.
