HOW MANY TIMES MUST KIDS STUDY GANDHI?

This is a novel that explores, not Gandhi the man or his life as a leader, but really the Gandhian way that must remain relevant to us. Especially today when the world is becoming increasingly steeped in violence and hate.

Paro Anand says, ‘In Being Gandhi, I have tried to look beyond the man, beyond the historical events of that time instead, place Gandhian principles in the context of today’s divisive world. In asking the question, “Is Gandhi still relevant for young people today?” I found unexpected answers.’

Ruskin Bond, India’s beloved award-winning author says, ‘A brave new look at Gandhi, bringing him front and centre into young lives today.’

Tina Narang, Publisher – Children’s, HarperCollins Publishers India adds, ‘We have to find new ways to keep Gandhi’s philosophy alive and relevant to children, not just today when we are marking his 150th birth anniversary, but for generations to come. Paro’s masterfully written Being Gandhi is a step in that direction.’

 

Releasing this September across stores in India to celebrate

the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi
