Ruminations of a Gandhian: Margaret Chatterjee

Abstract

This article is based on conversations the author had with nonagenarian Gandhian, Margaret Chatterjee, over the last one year. It is reflective of Chatterjee’s engagement with Gandhian philosophy—non-violence and satyagraha, drawn from influences in Gandhi’s life—and captures why she rejects the categorization of Gandhi as either a traditionalist or a modernist.
