Unravelling the Myth of Gandhian Non-violence: Why Did Gandhi Connect His Principle of Satyagraha with the “Hindu” Notion of Ahimsa?
Since the demise of Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948), known as the “Mahatma” or the Great Soul, numerous studies have unsurprisingly been published about him, particularly concerning his concept of “non-violence,” a central virtue of his anti-colonial satyagraha campaign. It is tempting to think that nothing new can be offered on the subject. However, by reading his writings in Gujarati, his native tongue, it is possible to reveal important and original insights.

GOOD ART IS (NOT) PRETTY ART
The October edition of Muses – the arts blog from BJPsych International – features a short blog by Motswana visual artist, Sedireng Mothibatsela, who writes about a crucial moment in her artistic development which coincides with her parent’s separation. It is a moving piece about how visual arts intersects with trauma and healing. I can recall the afternoon that changed how I create. I was 12 years old and in my last year of primary school and the looming high school years ahead presented many questions about how I wanted to proceed with my art. I had painted a watercolour still life and I was bored with it. Although my art received praise from my family and peers, my handling of watercolour was juvenile at best. I needed more; technically and conceptually. It was then that I began to question the art making process. Like most young artists in primary school we were simply taught that “good art is pretty art.”
