Book: Music of the Spinning Wheel - Mahatma Gandhi's Manifesto for the Internet Age By: Sudheendra Kulkarni Published by: Amaryllis (Pages 725; Price Rs 595) 'This is not the work of idle academic curiosity about an iconic figure of yesteryears. It is a call to action and service, based on my reflections about what Gandhi means to India and the world, today and tomorrow.' says Sudheendra Kulkarni, a BJP leader and prominent columnist. The book, perhaps for the first time in Gandhian literature, seeks to establish a correlation between the moral philosophy of the spinning wheel (charkha) and the enormously benign potential of the Internet. Hence, Kulkarni's assertion that the Internet is an avataar of the spinning wheel. He has made an earnest attempt to make this book, in howsoever tiny a measure, an aid to the glocal (global and local) movements of social, political, cultural, scientific and spiritual activists striving to create a better world. The book sums its action-oriented appeal thus: "Let Us Become Internet Satyagrahis." Release Date: 04 September 2012 Place: Gandhi Smriti, 30 January Marg, New Delhi Released by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Film created by: Riddhi Chokhawala and colleagues at the OBSERVER RESEARCH FOUNDATION MUMBAI
