Mrinalini Sinha professor of history and of women's studies

Book Title: Satyagraha

Author: Savita Singh

Selection Statement:

The figure of M. K. Gandhi looms large for any historian of colonial India and of the British Empire. My own work has always consisted of an implicit dialogue with Gandhi and his ideas. The choice of this book is meant both as an acknowledgement of the extent to which Gandhi looms large in my passions as a scholar, and as a source of inspiration for further work that will engage more explicitly with his influence.
