ABOUT HANSRAJ COLLEGE
ABOUT GANDHI BHAWAN The Gandhi Bhawan has provided a forum for occasional
discussions on Gandhian thought and practice; it has
organized national/ international seminars; it has endeavored
to promote awareness of Gandhian concept and methods of
health and well-being. It has built up a sizeable working
library. And it provides the academic meeting ground for
socio-cultural issues
Written by Mahatma Gandhi during his travel from London to
South Africa in 1909, Hind Swaraj remains to be a classic.
The text comprising twenty short chapters was structured in
a dialogic form between the Reader and the Editor, where
Gandhiji in the role of the Editor used the opportunity to unfurl
his thoughts on some of the most fundamental issues
concerning humanity in general and Indian society in
particular. In the context of early twentieth century, the book
provides an alternative vision of modernity by pointing at the
vagaries of modern civilization and also suggesting its
possible panacea. At the same time it provides a direction to
India’s struggle for swaraj, where swaraj is not defined in its
popular meaning of political independence alone, but covers
the entire gamut of possibilities for an inclusive and
collective experience of freedom. Extensively inspired by the
indigenous knowledge system and resources, it also entails a
challenging project of reshaping the imagination of Indian
minds for a future that was more sensitive to the challenges
facing humanity at large, thereby placing India in a leadership
role for the future cosmopolitan world order.
In more than 100 years since Hind Swaraj was first published,
there have been many interpretations, scholarly works and
articles published on the subject. One of the more recent
publications is Making of a Hindu Patriot: Background of
Gandhiji’s Hind Swaraj (Vol. I & II) by J. K. Bajaj and
M. D. Srinivas which provides an important vantage point to
understand the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. It is a work in
intellectual history that traces the evolution of Hind Swaraj as
a text of religious patriotism. It revisits the process through
which Gandhiji’s ideas took shape and matured epitomizing
in the production of Hind Swaraj that remains relevant for all
age and time. It’s most unique contribution is not only in the
way it maps the genesis of Gandhiji’s philosophy by carefully
situating it in the context of late nineteenth and early
twentieth century but also in its presentation of that
philosophy in a dialogic form which takes the shape of a
discourse providing a holisitic understanding about Gandhiji’s
thought process and his evolution as Deshbhakta Mahatma.
In the light of existing works, this FDP aims to revisit
Gandhiji’s philosophy particularly with reference to Hind
Swaraj.
The objective of this Faculty Development Programme (FDP)
is to educate and enlighten the participating faculties about
Gandhiji’s philosophy, focusing on his masterpiece the Hind
Swaraj. Making of a Hindu Patriot is an important recent
intervention in the already existing collection of work on
Gandhiji’s philosophy and the programme aims to use it as an
entry point to the diverse discourse on the subject. It is
expected that after the FDP the participants would be able to
develop a critical framework to understand the possibilities
within the field of intellectual history in general and Gandhiji’s
thought in particular.
The Gandhi Bhawan, University of Delhi, was established
on 24th July 1958. The foundation stone of the building
was laid by Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru on 17th
