Gandhi - Selected Works

Gandhi was a very late 19th and early 20th century Indian anarchist-socialist revolutionary who utilized a form of nonviolent resistance he termed Satyagraha, similar to what was in the Americas called "passive resistance" to liberate India from British influence.

Gandhi was massively influential in Indian politics, 20th century Anarchism, religion,
Secular Humanism, Post-Colonial Studies.

As Tolstoy had been to him, Gandhi in turn was a major inspiration to Martin Luther King, Jr and many Civil Rights protestors in the 1960s as well as many later generations of anarcho-pacifist activists across the world.

There is a collected works of Gandhi, which is so utterly massive (100 volumes) as to be useless.

I've opted to select several of Gandhi's important works for understanding his thought, historical context, and application of Satyagraha to modern protesting.

Collected here are Gandhi's most important theoretical works (Satyagraha, his Autobiography), his most prominent letters (to Tolstoy, Tagore and others which illustrate his positions plus several short pieces.
