Early in his career as leader of India’s campaign to end British rule, Gandhi resisted terrorist interpretations of the \u003ci\u003eGita \u003c\/i\u003eand described the \u003ci\u003eGita \u003c\/i\u003eas depicting a metaphorical battle between good and evil impulses within every human heart. Then when India was drawn into a world war not unlike that in which Arjuna reluctantly led his troops into combat, Gandhi embraced his role as battlefield commander of the millions he had trained to be non-violent warriors. Never abandoning his dedication to non-violence, Gandhi stressed to his recruits that they should act as non-violently as possible but should not passively accept injustice. Remaining true to the \u003ci\u003eBhagavad Gita \u003c\/i\u003ewhile responding to urgent hazards affecting all Indians, Gandhi himself became a wartime battlefield commander leading millions in the climactic Quit India conflict that ended British rule. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume provides an overview of Gandhi’s entire career as leader of the Indian Nationalist Movement, clarifies Gandhi’s approach to acting non-violently when surrounded by violence, and affirms Gandhi’s enduring importance as a source of inspiration around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57238420259198,"sku":"NW9781032652818","price":42.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032652818.jpg?v=1778535508","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/gandhis-battlefield-choice","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
