________________ I have perused through it. It is a classical work of literature covering in-depth a very wide range of historical / philosophical subjects, issues and ideas, and can become an important source of reference. Dr. Y.P. Anand former Chairman, Railway Board (Indian Railways) & former Director, National Gandhi Museum, New Delhi Dr. Shugan C. Jain's book clearly brings out the complex and evolutionary relationship between values and way of life propagated by Gandhi and Jainism. The book also underlines the fact that Gandhi did not accept Jainism uncritically and was vocal about the shortcomings ofits ethical practices. Gandhi and Jainism is a major work enriching academic sub-disciplines of Gandhian as well as Jain Studies and would be useful to a wide array of scholars. Prof. Prakash C.
