His name has equally become synonymous with the highest principles of global equality, human dignity, and freedom.Joseph Alter argues, however, that Gandhi has not been completely understood by biographers and political scholars, and in Gandhi's Body he undertakes a reevaluation of the Mahatma's life and thought. In his revisionist and iconoclastic approach, Alter moves away from the usual focus on nonviolence, peace, and social reform and takes seriously what most scholars who have studied Gandhi tend to ignore: Gandhi's preoccupation with sex, his obsession with diet reform, and his vehement advocacy for naturopathy. Alter concludes that a distinction cannot be made between Gandhi's concern with health, faith in nonviolence, and his sociopolitical agenda.In this original and provocative study, Joseph Alter demonstrates that these seemingly idiosyncratic aspects of Gandhi's personal life are of central importance to understanding his politics-and not only Gandhi's politics but Indian nationalism in general. Using the Mahatma's own writings, Alter places Gandhi's bodily practices in the context of his philosophy; for example, he explores the relationship between Gandhi's fasting and his ideas about the metaphysics of emptiness and that between his celibacy and his beliefs about nonviolence. Alter also places Gandhi's ideas and practices in their national and transnational contexts. He discusses how and why nature cure became extremely popular in India during the early part of the twentieth century, tracing the influence of two German naturopaths on Gandhi's thinking and on the practice of yoga in India. More important, he argues that the reconstruction of yoga in terms of European naturopathy was brought about deliberately by a number of activists in India-of whom Gandhi was only the most visible-interested in creating a "scientific" health regimen, distinct from Western precedents, that would make the Indian people fit for self-rule. Gandhi's Body counters established arguments that Indian nationalism was either a completely indigenous Hindu-based movement or simply a derivative of Western ideals. 410 0$aCritical histories. 606 $aDiet$zIndia 606 $aMedicine, Ayurvedic 606 $aNationalism$zIndia 606 $aSexual ethics$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiet 615 0$aMedicine, Ayurvedic. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aSexual ethics 676 $a954.03/5/092 700 $aAlter$b Joseph S$01006617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452393603321 996 $aGandhi's body$92489723 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04048nam 2200721 a 450 001 9910459570103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-12811-9 010 $a9786613531995 010 $a1-4399-0508-8 035 $a(CKB)2670000000083787 035 $a(EBL)692509 035 $a(OCoLC)726734870 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000516920 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11352672 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000516920 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10478021 035 $a(PQKB)10707212 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000776836 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12361159 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000776836 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10748250 035 $a(PQKB)23667463 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC692509 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse13375 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL692509 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10471937 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL353199 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000083787 100 $a20101020d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$a"To serve a larger purpose"$b[electronic resource] $eengagement for democracy and the transformation of higher education /$fedited by John Saltmarsh and Matthew Hartley 210 $aPhiladelphia $cTemple University Press$dc2011 215 $a1 online resource (327 p.) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-4399-0507-X 311 $a1-4399-0506-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aDemocratic engagement / John Saltmarsh and Matthew Hartley -- Idealism and compromise and the civic engagement movement / Matthew Hartley -- Democratic transformation through university-assisted community schools / Lee Benson, Ira Harkavy and John Puckett -- Civic professionalism / Harry C.
