"Industrial and
Agrarian Life and Relations" is a condensed version of the comprehensive compilation
in three volumes of Gandhiji's thought on economic, industrial and agrarian problems
brought out in January 1957 under the title "Economic and Industrial Life and
Relations". The first volume of the Collection described the goal and pathway to
non-violent socialism of Gandhiji's conception. The second volume was devoted to the eco
nomic teachings of Gandhiji. In the third volume his ideas and views on agrarian and
industrial conditions and relations were set forth.
The compilation carried a penetrating foreword from the pen of Shri
Shankarlalbhai Banker, a close associate of Gandhiji and a co-founder of the Textile
Labour Association of Ahmedabad, which was for Gandhiji the laboratory for testing his
theories. He observed in his foreword : "With the passage of time Gandhiji's ideas
have attracted an ever broadening circle both in India and abroad. |
Our national and foreign policy derives its
inspiration mainly from his teachings. But we are yet far from the vision he had about the
Sarvodaya Samaj-the true Welfare State. History will unfold how we shall have to turn to
this great teacher again and again for inspiration and guidance before we achieve this
goal. He had thought deeply on many problems and experimented on not a few. The
conclusions he arrived at were carefully worked out in his own life and effectively
presented to the world through his various activities. His views on fimdamental matters
are, therefore, of great 'importance to us and their study can-not but benefit all." |
