DESCRIPTION
The present work enquires into a largely unexplored area in social sciences, namely, the interaction of politics, symbols and culture, in both theorituical and applied perspectives. Making subtle analytical distinctions between the symbolist and the 'symbolic' and between 'symbol in oilitics' and political ymbols', the study reinterpretes Gandhian philosophy and praxis in terms of political symbolism'.
