About the Book

40 years after independence, what does Rajiv Gandhi's worldview encompass? The vision of Nehru remains intact - a world without war, made up of a community of sovereign equal nations following the philosophy of non-alignment. India still seeks independence from outside domination, still seeks growth with justice, and still seeks a world free of tensions. The book notes, in fact, that this vision, once considered flawed, is now held to be more valid than ever. More concerns have surfaced, however, and greater attention must be paid to economic issues and priority given to the crises caused by the deterioration of the environment in an increasingly interdependent world. Colonialism may be almost extinct, but other forms of domination still remain to be eliminated. Old battles over racism remain to be won in Southern Africa and have also surfaced anew in Fiji. This book, encapsulating the philosophy of Rajiv Gandhi, holds out the hope that no matter how interlocked nation is with nation in disputes and differences, that they will still be able to transcend them and create a new world system.
