And while doing so, respect every culture and traditional sentiments by embracing tolerance, adaptability and resilience. The book leaves the readers with the thought that when the purpose is to fulfil the larger aims of sustainability, then the mere question of success and failure of the migration process becomes redundant. By adopting the elements of Truth, Non-violence and tolerance, a peaceful and just world that is socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable is conceived. In this context, this book takes the opportunity to highlight the inherent relevance of Gandhian thoughts that embark on environmental sustainability. The book also highlights that Canada is a country which provides fair access to its resources to all immigrants, depicting inclusivity in the socio-economic sphere and serves as the most sustainable model for immigration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMohandas 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Pulin Nayak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cem\u003eFormer Director and Professor, Delhi School of Economics \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Gandhi and Kumarappa were not in favour of migration of people from villages to towns and cities or to other countries in their ideal scheme of things.

The sharp insights of the authors guide the readers from the inner self of the individual migrant, threatened by the accumulation of insecurities and violence, to the Gandhian principles of Truth, nonviolence and patience. In this quest for the inner self integrity of the migrants, Sharma and Jadon show us clearly how in an era of globalization, indifferent to the sufferings of the migrants, the Gandhian principles can promote inclusiveness and integration, to ensure a more just and peaceful world order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Ramin Jahanbegloo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistinguished Gandhian scholar and recipient of the\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeace Prize from the United Nations Association in\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpain for his extensive academic works in promoting dialogue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ebetween cultures and his advocacy for non-violence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.

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.
