This article analyses the nature of Gandhian state and compares it with that of the Marxian State. It explains Gandhian concept of democracy along with rights, duties and freedom of citizens, and how this democracy can be functional at the grassroots level. While discussing the powers of the state the author delineats the idea of institutional governance that Gandhi implicitly cherished in connection with his scheme of administrative decentralisation in India. - Reproduced.
