In ‘Walking From Dandi in Search of Vikas’, Harmony Siganporia retraces Mahatma Gandhi’s iconic Salt March route in reverse, journeying from Dandi to Ahmedabad. This 400-kilometer walk under twenty-five days offers a unique lens to explore modern Gujarat’s transformation. Siganporia delves into the state’s pivot towards the narrative of ‘vikas’ (development) and its departure from Gandhi’s ideals of ‘swaraj’ (self-rule). The book contrasts Gujarat’s past as a crucible for Gandhi’s ‘experiments’ with truth and non-violent civil disobedience against its present-day reality dominated by Hindutva and a singular focus on development. Discover what remains of the Salt March’s legacy in contemporary Gujarat and critically examine the ‘single story’ of vikas that now defines the state.
