<p>Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa in the early years of his career as an expatriate. It was there, as a migrant, that he honed his experiments with truth. Gandhiji understood the inner life of a migrant from his personal experiences. His life shows that in addition to adaptability and resilience, a migrant would need to draw upon reserves of love, and a commitment to non-violence and truth. This book beautifully brings out all of these elements.<br /> <strong>—Pulin Nayak</strong><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Former Director and Professor, Delhi School of Economics&nbsp;</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Both Gandhi and Kumarappa were not in favour of migration of people from villages to towns and cities or to other countries in their ideal scheme of things. However, Gandhi championed the cause of migrants of Indian origin in South Africa through the weapon of satyagraha. This book calls for application of Gandhi-Kumarappa ideas from the prism of the host country is an interesting work which needs examination and appreciation in the context of emerging challenges.<br /> <strong>—Siby K.

The sharp insights of the authors guide the readers from the inner self of the individual migrant, threatened by the accumulation of insecurities and violence, to the Gandhian principles of Truth, nonviolence and patience. In this quest for the inner self integrity of the migrants, Sharma and Jadon show us clearly how in an era of globalization, indifferent to the sufferings of the migrants, the Gandhian principles can promote inclusiveness and integration, to ensure a more just and peaceful world order.<br /> <strong>—Ramin Jahanbegloo</strong><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; <em>Distinguished Gandhian scholar and recipient of the </em><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px;">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><em>Peace Prize&nbsp;from the United Nations Association in </em><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px;">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><em>Spain for his extensive academic works&nbsp;in promoting dialogue </em><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px;">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><em>between cultures and his advocacy for non-violence</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This book from Pooja Sharma and Nav Jadon is an interesting contribution to the debate on migration in today’s world; a topic of the utmost importance and topicality. Its approach, both rigorous and passionate, makes it a document of great interest in our troubled times. It combines the personal project of the migrant with the implications for the receiving countries and the world as a whole, in order to work for a more harmonious, just, peaceful and sustainable world, following the legacy of Gandhi and Kumarappa. This work connects the most personal with the global, in a sign that the authors are imbued with one of Gandhi’s most important teachings: that the personal and the global are intimately connected, with no possibility of dissociation. A good contribution to a necessary debate.<br /> <strong>—Artur Domingo Barnils</strong><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Historian. Catalonia (Spain)</em></p>
