Ar an dara lá de Dheireadh Fómhar i mbliana ceiliúrfaimid 150 bliain ó rugadh ceannaire eagnaí polaitiúil, pátrún Lá Idirnáisiúnta an Neamhfhoréigin, athair agus gúrú na hIndia nua-aimseartha – Mahatma Gandhi. In aeráid nimhneach an náisiúnachais fhoréignigh a bhíonn ag bagairt ar noirm shóisialta a bunaíodh go forleathan in Iarthar na hEorpa tar éis uafáis an Naitsíochais, bíonn teagasc agus eiseamláir bheatha an tsaoi Indiaigh seo faoi conas éagóir, fuath agus mí-úsáid chumhachta a shárú trí bhíthin modhanna síochánta gach pioc chomh hábhartha agus chomh hiomchuí inniu mar a bhí sé le linn laethanta fuilteacha impiriúlachas na Breataine san India.
Gandhi for the troubled times we live in. Irish poet and haiku master Gabriel Rosenstock teamed up with esteemed Kashmiri artist Masood Hussain to create a dazzling kaleidoscope of events, real and imagined, in the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Though aimed originally at young adults to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the extraordinary man who freed India from the shackles of Empire, this gorgeously illustrated book of penetrating haiku and insightful commentary “deserves a wide readership across the world” according to Gandhian expert Ramachandra Guha. Walk with Gandhi, the apostle of human rights; walk with him as he shows us how pacifism works, how non-violence works; walk with Gandhi and see how civil disobedience worked then, and how it can work now when circumstances demand it.
