Gandhi was one of the greatest leaders of mankind. His message is perennially relevant. Few could attain his moral stature. As a mass communicator, he reached and influenced more people in his lifetime than any other person in history. And he was an organizational genius. Yet, practically none of his major projects succeeded. This book examines Gandhi in the light of his agenda whether political, social or religious under eight different headings, not always in chronological order. And while unearthing the many reasons for Gandhi's failure, it also inquiries into the basis of Gandhi's abiding universal appeal.
