Women and Satyagraha
The article examines the complex gender issues of modernizing India through the subjective views of M.K. Gandhi (1869–1948). The thinker himself is presented as a descendant of 19th-century Hindu reformers who began fighting for women’s rights after embracing Western ideas and values. Personal experience of family life, combined with legal training and political leadership, shaped his understanding of gender issues. The complex picture of his vie…
Vinoba Bhave – Between Divine and Human. On the Book Moved by Love. The Memoirs of Vinoba Bhave
Author offers to consider Vinoba as an example of a modern prophet, i.e. as a person who is driven by understanding of divinity of his mission. The thinker played the role of the mediator between God and people, as well as between different social forces. Thereby he was in situation of double dialogue: with God and with people. Such mediation was possible due to Vinoba’s refusal of belonging to definite caste, political party, religious or phil…
A Modern Non-Western Thinker as a Subject of Intercultural Dialogue (Based on M. K. Gandhi’s Example)
An intercultural dialogue is the essential question in modernising societies. Non-Western thinkers (i.e., thinkers influenced by both traditional non-Western and modern Western cultures) are the active subjects of such intercommunications. Their existence on the joint of two civilisations forms their social, cultural and mental image. The intellectuals of this type are attached to both societies and at the same time, they are detached from each o…
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – the Unorthodox “Orthodox”
The reference to the native tradition by thinkers of modernizing societies is a complex, multidimensional process. It includes endeavours of rational reconsideration of their own religion, which as a rule are accompanied with reformers’ declarations about revival of true ancient essence of faith and about their orthodoxy. The typical example of the last one is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s article “Who is a ‘Sanatani’ Hindu?”. Translation of th…

Blood Kinship and Spiritual Kinship
M. K. Gandhi’s understanding of his native religion
Object of investigation is the preface to my Russian translation of M. K. Gandhi’s (1869–1948) article “Hinduism”, which was first published on 6 October 1921. In this text, Gandhi creates an ideal image of his native religion and also discusses the imperfection of contemporary Indian society. The ideal image he associates with the original ancient faith, which he offers to his compatriots as a model for changes in all fields of life. The essence…
