Comparing Gandhi and Lincoln

In this public lecture, Professor Rajmohan Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) compares the lives, achievements and deaths of Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln. Professor Gandhi reflects on how disputes over the unity of their respective countries -- over the relationship between major population groups -- resulted in the assassinations (separated by 83 years) of both Lincoln and Gandhi. He also examines what was common and what was dissimilar in the personalities and approaches of the two. Rajmohan Gandhi is Research Professor at the Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and Academic Director, Global Crossroads, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. In 2009 and 2010 he served as the international president of the NGO, Initiatives of Change. This lecture is hosted by the Australia South Asia Research Centre and presented by the Research School of Asia and the Pacific as part of the distinguished visitor series.
