Peter Gonsalves 'Clothing for Liberation' - Review by Gaston Roberge

Clothing for Liberation - A Communication Analysis of Gandhi’s Swadeshi Revolution
A book by Peter Gonsalves
Comments by Gaston Roberge, 22 June 2009


After reading the book, I came back to the title and felt like summarizing it as follows: Communication Revolution Liberation. These three are seen in the light of Gandhiji’s experiments with truth. I do not mean that the title is wrong. I just say in three words what for me the book is about.

Recently we could see a… Continue

kati sonnenburg say no to violence and non-respect on the issue of international women's day

SAY NO TO VIOLENCE AND NON-RESPECT Special times call for special action. If we have the possibility to spread humanity to the world, to the politicians who have the power then let’s use our strong voice of every human activist to change something. Education in respect for every life, nature, religion is the basic for non-violence and peace. If we respect others and ourselves then we cannot harm anybody. Respect is love. If we respect the opposite we cannot slap him/her. If we respect the nature… Continue

Arya Bhushan Bhardwaj SWARAJ AND SWASTHYA

The key concept that Gandhi had been emphasising was how to achieve Swaraj. This concept was first said in Vedas, the books of Knowledge Within. The simple meaning of Swaraj is how to control oneself without the fear of outwardly force which is called State Power. From time immemorial, it has been the collective persuation of human beings, which unfortunately has not been fully achieved. Some individuals did try and got success from time to time. For example some Rishis from the time of Vedas

Arya Bhushan Bhardwaj NIRBHAYA-----4

As I mentioned briefly in the pervious Blogs, Nirbhaya is a new Social Concept used by Gandhi to solve social problem of violence. He wanted to replace the old concepts of solving social issues like Violence in the Global Society. Human being has yet to try to solve this problem of global concern.Human being has just to change the strategy. What has been the age old method? Mere physcial Force. It has brought us from age old Arrows and Bows to Atom Bombs and Chemical War, but the problem of Soci… Continue

Arya Bhushan Bhardwaj APRIGRAHA

Gandhi was having a roaring practice as a lawyer in South Africa. In the begining he was having some problems. But later on he became a very popular Attorny. Why did he leave his legal practice? During the course of his practice as a lawyer Gandhi came to realize that in this profession one can not strict to Truth. Instead, one has to be highly tactful and sometimes compromise with the wrong facts in order to win the case of his client. For example in the case of Dada Abdullah he realised that h… Continue

Arya Bhushan Bhardwaj APRIGRAHA ------- 2

A friend has written to me that Aprigraha is a very ancient concept and may not be possible to practice it in today's world. I think it can be practiced. It is more relevant today than at any time in the past. Gandhi gave it a new meaning. He called it a life of voluntary poverty. In today's world poverty is consider as a curse. Of course poverty is a curse. But voluntary poverty has a altogether new concept. It does not mean at all to live in misery. Voluntary poverty means, consume whatever

Have you ever made your parents a Valentine?
Kathmandu, Nepal, — Valentine's Day is coming. Have you ever made your parents a Valentine? It is beautiful if you make them a Valentine. I want my parents to be my Valentine. I have learned from my parents, "Love brings only love." Love means to unite the minds, a matter which is wider than the sky and as attractive as the flower. I remember a morning when we smiled, keeping hand in hand.
