GANDHI’S PERCEPTION OF RACIALISM IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

Gandhi became well-known throughout the world as a key player in India’s anti-British movement. He was the forerunner of a nonviolent protest movement in world history. Naturally, there isn’t a long history of successful nonviolent movements being successfully followed and carried out before Gandhi. Gandhi’s viewpoint on international politics, however, is one facet of his life that has received relatively little attention. Gandhi brought up the world wars in his talks on global politics. In addition, he offered well-considered views on a variety of topics, including the shortcomings of organizations that work to promote peace, colonialism, and aggressive nationalism. He identified a number of global ideologies, particularly when investigating the reasons behind the First and Second World Wars. He blamed these ideologies for a large number of international conflicts. Among these ideologies was racialism. This essay will discuss Gandhi’s perspective on racialism. It will also examine what the nature of racialism was during Gandhi’s contemporaneous period, and how racialism led human civilization into crisis.
