“Age of Entertainment” is a collection of essays penned by Dr. Naresh Dadhich over a period of time. The subjects are varied and not related to each other. Some of these are commentaries on books which the author has read, some are portraits of personalities, some musings, write up on teaching, life experiences etc. The topics will certainly entail readers. Some of the essays touch such topics: Is this an age of entertainment? The retirement desolation, Why bullshitting is rising in public sphere? A sane advice by a Roman politician about how to win election that is still relevant. What is “elective despotism”? Or who was Osho ? The book is meant for general public.

The selection of texts is thematic/historical and academic. The book is structured so as to be useful for both academics and general readers interested in familiarizing themselves with the political philosophy and thought of Gandhi.
Often considered the most admired human being of the twentieth century, Mahatma Gandhi was and remains controversial. Among the leading Gandhi scholars in the world, the authors of the timely studies in this volume present numerous ways in which Gandhi's thought and action-oriented approach are significant, relevant, and urgently needed for addressing the major problems and concerns of the twenty-first century. Such problems and concerns include issues of violence and nonviolence, war and peace, religion and religious conflict and dialogue, terrorism, ethics, civil disobedience, injustice, modernism and postmodernism, forms of oppression and exploitation, and environmental destruction. These creative, diverse studies offer a radical critique of the dominant characteristics and priorities of modern Western civilization and the contemporary world. They offer positive alternatives by using Gandhi, in creative and innovative ways, to focus on nonviolence, peace with justice, tolerance and mutual respect, compassion and loving kindness, cooperative relations and the realization of our interconnectedness and unity, meaningful action-oriented engagement of dialogue, resistance, and working for new sustainable ways of being human and creating new societies. This volume is appropriate for the general reader and the Gandhi specialist. It will be of interest for readers in philosophy, religion, political science, history, cultural studies, peace studies, and many other fields. Throughout this book, readers will experience a strong sense of the philosophical and practical urgency and significance of Gandhi's thought and action for the contemporary world.
