SummaryIn 1929, Gandhi wrote, “The Western civilization which passes for civilization is disgusting to me. I have given a rough picture of it in Hind Swaraj [India Home Rule]. Time has brought no change to it.” Despite the fact that Gandhi openly demonstrates considerable disdain for Western society and culture, one only needs to read his works to understand the impact that the West has had on this individual. Specifically, in his autobiography, Gandhi discusses highly personal information and experiences that elucidate notable Western influence. Given the significant issues that Gandhi has with Western culture, the fact that Gandhi’s ideas and perceptions have been so heavily influenced by the West presents a paradox of notable proportions.
