Anti-Liberal Mahatma
While is often invoked by Indian liberals to support their views, he was in fact a stern critic of , which he thought had provided the justification for colonial rule. Rather than purging liberalism of its colonial associations, as Nehru sought to do, Gandhi reimagined India’s social relations against and outside its reach. He did so by questioning the role of the state as well as the uniformity of citizenship. In this talk I shall explore the ways in which Gandhi’s non-violent mobilizations endeavoured to establish national freedom outside the ambit of state and even citizenship by setting other foundations for society in their place.
