Lecture by Suresh Sharma, for the publication in French of Gandhi’s text "Hind Swaraj"

In 2010, Suresh Sharma, former Associate Fellow at IAS-Nantes, and Tridip Suhrud published a critical edition of the text Hind Swaraj, written by Gandhi in 1909. The book contained the original text in goujarati, a translation in English made in 1910, and was completed with marginnotes (alternative readings/translations of the Gujarati original), footnotes (notations for categories-concepts) and Hindi translation (to mute the current placement of English as the exclusive mediation between languages).

The French version of that book, translated by Annie Montaut, Member of IAS-Nantes scientific advisory board, was published in October 2014 in the series "Poids et Mesures du Monde" (Fayard) with the title Hind Swaraj : l’émancipation à l’indienne. The book contains a text by Charles Malamoud and an introduction by Suresh Sharma.

Suresh Sharma will make a lecture at the Institue on February 10th, to present the book.
