Who was in Gandhi’s “social network” at different stages in his political career? What might his shifting social networks reveal about his evolving politics? This project quantifies and categorizes Gandhi’s various “instances of communication” to network / visualize Gandhi’s social networks. In doing so, I hope to critically analyze the racial, gender, national, and class character of his networks while also considering the key thinkers (ideas) of his network. As part of this updated focus, I will also continue to focus on my initial proposal: building an interactive network resource on Gandhi that gives scholars a visual way to explore how activist ideas spread and to see what has – or hasn’t – been studied in the extant historiography on Gandhi, India, and nonviolence.
