520 _aThis book is a step by step guideline of preparation on the journey of peace. Explanations follow in a simple logical and lucid manner. Many great minds from around the globe have pondered over, theorized, entertained, explained, explored and demonstrated Peace as a universal theme. However, Gandhiji was the first and only to actually exemplify by living his philosophy of peace that justified both peace as means and peace as an endcalled nonviolence philosophy; which was taken up by many even after the time of Gandhiji. Dr. Monika has done an excellent job in weaving together the historical patterns overtime of sociopolitical upheavals, unrest and the rise of unspoken bubbles of nonviolence philosophy scattered around the globe ready to be burst. This book comprises of a study of various literatures—Gandhiji, Bayard Rustin, Rosa Parks and Oka blockades critiqued in the light of NonViolence philosophy as praxis and culture. Bayard Rustin and Rosa Parks in the United States also shared Gandhian vision of nonviolence. The Oka blockades in Canada witnessed an attempt of satyagraha by the First Nations people. The author in this book has successfully succeeded in presenting an objective view of peaceful ends through peaceful means.
