Confluence of thought : Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr / Bidyut Chakrabarty and Clayborne Carson. - 1 online resource

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The aim of this book is to understand the complex evolution of the socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King and also their confluence in the specific context of India and America respectively. Based on a threadbare analysis of socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King, the book argues that the moral politics of redemptive love and non-violence that they consistently pursued represents an appealing vision for the present century.
