For Gandhi, nationalism was based on understanding what was required for people to be free
He was not a socialist but, in common with the socialists, he believed that capitalism could never solve the problem of unemployment, and the mental dullness it produced.
XGandhi was also clear that capitalism as we know it, for which he used the term “the English system”, could not serve such a nation. (Illustration: C R Sasikumar)
I find Gandhi’s thought in at least three areas of abiding relevance for me: His views on nationalism, on capitalism and on solidarity.
