Social Science in PerspectiveSummary: Gandhi was not an intellectual in the academic sense of the arm. He was not a scholar or a philosopher. He was not a theoretician. His thinking had the quality of accretive genius. He was pre-eminently a man of action. He has written a great deal but his writings are designed as a guide to action and not for the acquisition of knowledge. They re generally concerned with the solution of real rubles, arising out of the many-sided and complex situations, for his time. Interest in Gandhi’s thought and action seem to be on the increase, and his message to the world appears uniquely relevant. He remains however in may ways, an enigma. – Reproduced
