"The leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa was gradually entering a new era, the era of non-racial democracy. Though ethnicity will continue to cast its shadow on politics, as religion and castes do in India even after four decades of secular democracy. The volume has been weaved into eighteen comprehensive chapters on Gandhian Satyagraha in South Africa." (jacket)
