Индия на Ганди и на Неру, или между традицията и модернизацията
India of Gandhi and Nehru, or between Tradition and Modernisation

Summary/Abstract: This article considers the views Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru had on the development of India. Their evolution from the shared outlook to the concrete concepts, targeted at society, as well as their public and political activity, become meaningful in the context of a controversial, conflict-laden reality which resulted in different processes and tendencies in Indian society. The problems of the “alien” and the “familiar”, the “old” and the “new” were among the most important for both Gandhi and Nehru, connected as they were with the quest for “synthesis” in the process of India's modernisation — one that has not been completed to this day. The conclusion which springs to mind from this study is that the process in question acquired a variety of forms which covered different levels of public life and crystallised in changes of internal structure.
