Mohandas Gandhi's moral personality is a richly faceted gem, showing up quite differently, depending on the placement of the observer. I have for many years been entangled in a study of South Asian and, in particular, Indian problems of underdevelopment, development and planning for development. My value premises in Asian Drama were the rationalistic modernization ideals emanating from the Enlightenment and pervasive in liberal thought everywhere (the assertions about Gandhi's opinions expressed below are documented in various places in that book). Together with Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi walks through Asian Drama as a spiritual leader upholding these ideals in a quite optimistic liberal or post-Victorian English variety, though molded by the Indian tradition. Of course this characterization does not exhaust what can be said about Gandhi's worldview, but I believe it is important to a full view of the father of the Indian nation.
