The Gandhian Ashram and its Contemporaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the Gandhian Ashram as a reaction to the forces of modernity in the late 19 th and early 20 th Centuries. Its deviation from the existing historiography is primarily in its exploration of the Ashram as one of many incidents of communal experiments at the time, which have an interesting geographic connection in London. I note Gandhi's readings of John Ruskin and Leo Tolstoy, his interactions with dietetic and communal experiments in London, and some of the local precedents for the Ashram in arguing that these communal living experiments can be seen as a reaction to the forces of modern nation-building, especially as an anticolonial reaction.
