520			_aGandhian ideas, social movements and creativity sets a new trend in analysing Gandhlan ideas from their primary sources and connecting them with their expression in creative writings. From the point of view of Gandhian ideas it traces an important area of consequences following from them and at the same time it traces an important influence shaping contemporary literature. The two are welded together as aspects of a single history of ideas and opinions seeking to trace their origin in the Gandhian movements. Historical development of Indian Nationalism, the uniqueness of the Gandhian way of dissent and protest which constituted the core of Gandhian thought and movements, and the charisma of Gandhi have been analysed and interpreted through creative writings of his contemporaries. Unlike the journalistic and official records, creative writings reflect the thought and sentiments of people which are more revealing where subtler background of major social conditions and movements is concerned. Interpreting Gandhi through creative writings has added a new dimension to Gandhian studies and the work succeeds in illumining a new and deeper image of Gandhi. This interdisciplinary treatise, it is hoped, will prove useful not only to Gandhian scholars but also to researchers in History, Sociology, Political Science and Hindi literature.
