- Description
- The chapter tends to contribute more towards the debate on individual and community interests. It broadly explains both the concepts by analysing their interdependence and importance and gives readers a competitive critical analysis of the stance taken by different western philosophers and Gandhi on it. The chapter comes out in five major heads and commences by explaining the intricacies of the debate between the two in its first segment. The second part of the chapter puts forward the western framework of ideas and brings into picture various philosophers of the west and their ideologies on the subject. The third section sketches out an analysis of individual and community interests from Gandhian lens and throws light on various ideas promulgated by him such as satyagrah, Swaraj (self-governance), Sarvodaya (rise of all), Ekadash Vrat (eleven principles). The fourth head talks about the role of these ideas in addressing the conflict between the two interests that exist in society. It concludes by drawing out how Gandhian ideology acts as a guiding light to bridge the gap between the two contrasting ideas of individual and community interests.
