7 Foreword While it is commonly agreed that Mahatma Gandhi is a figure of world significance, debate continues about the precise nature of his contribution. What is the essence of his greatness, then and now? Was it his ability to fashion a coherent world view of nonviolence, one that would withstand the unavoidable tests by people of violence? Was it his willingness to make painful sacrifices for the sake of ideals that he found precious? Or was it, perhaps, his enormous capacity for empathy with the poor and afflicted of his society? No simple answer will suffice. Gandhi's life was a complex blend of revolutionary thought and symbolic action; one that exhibited a remarkable integration of moral and political fervor. Surely it was a life that merits scrutiny for what it can teach us about perseverance and selfless leadership. In 1984, The Claremont Graduate School held an interdisciplinary colloquium on 'Mahatma Gandhi and his Significance for Today'. Organized under the auspices of the Graduate School's James A. Blaisdell Programs in World Religions and Cultures, the conference included presentations by more than thirty scholars from India, Canada, Britain, Central America, and the United States. Many of the papers presented have been included in this volume. In his keynote address to the conference, Rodrigo Carazo, former President of Costa Rica and Acting Rector of the United Nation's University for Peace, declared that Gandhi was 'a clear symbol of what he practiced and preached: the local and the universal, joined in the task of emancipation through the means of nonviolence.' For Gandhi, nonviolence entailed more than a renunciation of bombs and bullets; it was above all concerned with what President Carazo called 'the lethal weapons represented by human exploitation, abuse, and ignorance'. The emancipation from colonial domination that Gandhi inspired was merely the first step in his quest for universal emancipation from poverty and injustice. Many of the contributors to this book agree that part of Gandhi's legacy lies in his powerful use of symbols. Symbols, however, are by their character subject to a variety of interpretations. Many of vii
8 viii Gandhi's Significance for Today these essays describe an imposing little man, sitting behind his spinning wheel, who boldly changed the course of history. But the meaning of that change, and its significance for today, is less clear than the ideas that fostered it. Hence the elusive nature of the legacy. In this book, the authors have tried to make the legacy more understandable by relating the character of the man, his style of leadership, his ethical, religious, and social concerns, to the political actions through which he expressed them. This is a book about Gandhi, the man, formed from the dust of India and from the misery of its people; but it is also a volume about the Mahatma, a visionary leader, whose ideas speak to us today with just as much relevance and force as they displayed in South Africa and India in the years before an assassin's bullets cut him down.
