First sentence: IN its heyday, that is between 1950-1970, the contemporary Sarvodaya movement in India was at least in principle endorsed by all those who held themselves committed to the Gandhian social philosophy and included many intellectuals and politicians in both the then ruling Indian Congress and other political parties.
Description: The term 'myth' in the title is used in an anthropological sense referring to a particular world view and a narrative as well as a guiding image that goes with it. The purpose of the book therefore is to elucidate Vinoba Bhave's vision of  Gandhian sarvodaya, that is, welfare of all.
