Power To The People

The book attempts to bring out, through a selection of the seminal writings of M.K. Gandhi, M.N. Roy and Jayaprakash Narayan as well as of critical commentaries on them, the essentials of their intellectual development and their contribution to contemporary Indian political thought. These writings constitute a significant part of the historical debates and contestations of ideas among the thinkers of the nationalist and the internationalist movements of the first half of the twentieth century.
