M.K.Gandhi Experience for Global Crisis Management Anastasia Shchedrina

India attracts interest not only as a country that attracted in the past centuries, like a magnet, with its natural treasures and unique culture, not only as one of the centers of economic development of the modern multipolar world. It is of considerable scientific interest to find out the reasons for the victory in the middle of the last century in the struggle for liberation from colonial oppression over the superior, both military and technically, enemy that dominated India for more than two centuries. It was this victory that created the prerequisites for the transformation of the Indian economy into one of the fastest growing in the world, and the way to achieve it - the idea of non-violent resistance, developed on the basis of the Hindu worldview of Mahatma Gandhi - has inspired many political movements of the XX century. The author's attempt to understand Indian culture from the inside, while presenting the results in the framework of Western European scientific tradition, gives the work a special interest, inviting the reader to dialogue and discussion on the complex and topical issues of modern dynamic society.
