	Non-violence and its philosophy Author : Dr. Ravindra Kumar Rs. : 50/- Pages : 100 Published By : Dynamic Publication (India) Ltd. 11, Shivaji Road, Meerut(India) Reviewed By- Prof. P. K. Arya


Conflict is inevitable in human society. The culture of a civilization is determined by the nature of the conflict resolution mechanism it evolves. Conflict resolution demands identification of the sources of the conflict and an approach of love and cooperation. Love and cooperation are derivatives of non-violence. Gandhian concept of non-violence is a natural integration device. Parties to the conflict have to be convinced of the morality and rationality of the non-violent resolution option. The result is a win-win situation for all. Through change of heart and moral pressure of personal sacrifice, it is enemity that is sought to be destroyed, not the enemy. At the end of it, therefore, there is no loser. None is vanquished. For Gandhi, genuine democratic polity could be only one founded on the philosophy of non-violence. Gandhi believed that the technique of non-violence was not for the weak. It was a legitimate weapon only in the hands of the strong and the brave. It demanded great courage. Also, it presupposed strength of character and of the spirit within. The author is a deep scholar and thinker. During the last few years, he has been speaking at various functions in India and abroad and has been writing extensively interlaid on Gandhiji’s life and thoughts. He has repeatedly flagged the point that both Gandhi and his philosophy remain relevant today and that, in fact, their appeal transcends all time and space. The present work focuses on the theme of non-violence as a philosophy of life. The author believes that non-violence is a natural human value and a necessary precondition for development and progress, In its wider connotation, it encompasses the value of love, truth, compassion and peace. The author also discusses the eastern and western views on the philosophy of non-violence. In conclusion, he iterates that non-violence is natural of human beings and is the source of cooperation and cohesion is society. It is a positive social value and its ultimate test is love for all living beings. I am confident that ‘Non-Violence and its Philosophy’ will be a definitive contribution in the field of philosophy, especially to the Gandhian literature.
