Gandhian Thought and Communication
About this course
This course explores the continuing relevance of Gandhian philosophy in communication, media, and activism. Learners will examine Gandhi’s critique of modernity, nationalism, religion, and Westernization through key works such as Hind Swaraj and The Story of My Experiments with Truth. The course highlights Gandhi’s role as a journalist, communicator, and leader of non-violent resistance movements. Participants will study how Gandhian ideas shaped labor movements, public communication, and mass mobilization strategies.

Combining historical theory with modern communication practices, this course is ideal for learners interested in media, humanities, social sciences, and activism.
