520			_aMohandas Karamchand Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa in the early years of his career as an expatriate. It was there, as a migrant, that he honed his experiments with truth. Gandhiji understood the inner life of a migrant from his personal experiences. His life shows that in addition to adaptability and resilience, a migrant would need to draw upon reserves of love, and a commitment to non-violence and truth. This book beautifully brings out all of these elements. —Pulin Nayak Former Director and Professor, Delhi School of Economics This book from Pooja Sharma and Nav Jadon is an interesting contribution to the debate on migration in today’s world; a topic of the utmost importance and topicality. Its approach, both rigorous and passionate, makes it a document of great interest in our troubled times. It combines the personal project of the migrant with the implications for the receiving countries and the world as a whole, in order to work for a more harmonious, just, peaceful and sustainable world, following the legacy of Gandhi and Kumarappa. This work connects the most personal with the global, in a sign that the authors are imbued with one of Gandhi’s most important teachings: that the personal and the global are intimately connected, with no possibility of dissociation. A good contribution to a necessary debate. —Artur Domingo Barnils Historian. Catalonia (Spain)
