Young india

By Harsh V Pant, Prithvi Iyer, Nivedita Kapoor, Aarshi Tirkey and Kartik Bommakanti Preface The word ‘unprecedented’ has often been used in the past year-and-a-half to describe the sheer scale of disruption that COVID-19 has unleashed upon the world. Indeed, now we know that the pandemic has spared no one, its wrath reaching the most cosmopolitan of cities and the remotest villages alike. Yet, in early 2020, as the outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, leaders across the world would have thought the battle could be quickly won. They sounded off a war cry: Test, Trace, and Isolate. Countries shut down all movement in their cities and towns and closed their borders too, in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. As lockdowns became the norm, the global economy was buffeted with strong headwinds, and many countries soon plunged into deep recession. Today, while we have a count of over 4 million lives lost (and counting), the real human cost of the pandemic remains immeasurable. The battle has not been won; the war is far from over. The pandemic revealed the strengths and weaknesses of various governance systems, social welfare policies, principles of economic organisation, and multilateralism. It has also had an extraordinary impact on the churn that was already underway in the global order, even before the first reports of a ‘strange respiratory disease’ started coming out of Wuhan. Growing geopolitical rivalries—characterised by the need to gain technological...

About Book WITH the incarceration of Mahatma Gandhi, his writings in Young India have passed beyond the pale of polemical politics and entered the realm of the “classic” literature. Far more than their practical value to India, at present or hereafter, is their value to the world at large, embodying in them a philosophy of life and practical conduct elaborated by the experience of the lifetime of a soul which will undoubtedly rank in history as that of one of the world’s greatest of men. A few isolated articles are all that have so far been published in book form and the need for a systematic collection of all the articles, numbering hundreds, and their presentation in a carefully edited form is the justification for this publication. The task of editing has not been easy. To have arranged the articles in a wholly chronological order would perhaps have been preferred by the few close followers of Young India who till recently have been comparatively few. A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE NON-CO-OPERATION MOVEMENT India and the War. To understand the significance and causes of the Non-co-operation Movement one has to go back beyond the incidents which immediately led to its adoption by the Khilafat Conference and the Indian National Congress. When the Great European War broke out between England and Germany in August 1914, India rose as one man to help the British Government. Those very people, the educated classes, who had been regarded as opponents of the Government on account of the...
