Gandhian Way : Peace, Non-violence and Empowerment
Mahatma Gandhi's humane philosophy and inherent spirituality had a profound influence not only on the people of India but the freedom loving people worldwide. 11th of September 2006 marked the centenary of the Satyagraha movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa for peaceful resistance against discriminatory and unjust laws. ""Satyagraha - the firmness of the force Truth"" became a powerful mass movement of peaceful resistance and civil disobedience.Over the years, it evolved into a dynamic mass movement of effective action.Commemorating 100 years of 'Satyagraha' in a befitting manner, the Indian National Congress convened a two day international conference: ""Peace, Non-violence and Empowerment: Gandhian Philosophy in the 21st Century"".Over 300 international delegates from 91 countries comprising world leaders, Nobel laureates, leading peace and human rights activists and Gandhian scholars reflected on the essence and the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy.The conference deliberated on subjects and issues which represent the core of Gandhian thought.The discussion touched upon a wide range of Gandhian principles and values including Mahatma Gandhi's concern for the poor and his abiding commitment to non-violence and people's empowerment.Emerging from the discussions amongst the luminaries was the collective affirmation to renew people's commitment to Mahatma's noble mission of building a world that is in peace and harmony with itself.Based on the deliberations of this conference, together with precious archival material, this volume - a book for the future - endeavours to reach out and connect the people, especially the younger generation, to the 'Gandhian way' and to carry forward his legacy into the 21st century.

From Violence to Peace : Theology, Law and Community
This book contributes to the literature on jurisprudence and theology by arguing for the role of a theoretically robust Christian theology in a legal community dominated by secular and liberal ideology. It is not a doctrinal or empirical analysis, but a theoretical exposition of the way in which modern law has contingently drifted from its theological origins. As a result, the legal system and the ideal of individual and communal relationship it envisages is characterised by antagonism and alienation, or more broadly, violence. The book contends that the way to restore a legal community of peace is to return to a Christian theology which is informed by Trinitarian thinking or the notion of unity in diversity, and reunites faith with reason. Returning reason to its ground in being allows peaceful persuasion by the revelation of God’s perfect being through the Trinity and Incarnation, which models and enables the peaceful coexistence of difference through self-sacrificing love. This in turn produces the law of love – to love your neighbour as yourself. Since love does no wrong to a neighbour, a legal community operating by the law of love can fulfil the obligations of law by going beyond merely what is required by law and love individuals as part of a community.

How can the peace treaty be assessed as a sustainable peace?
The peace treaty can be assessed as a sustainable peace by examining several key factors. Firstly, the involvement and commitment of all parties to the treaty is crucial for its sustainability. If all parties are genuinely invested in upholding the terms of the treaty, it is more likely to endure. Additionally, the inclusion of mechanisms for conflict resolution and reconciliation can contribute to the sustainability of the peace treaty. This can involve establishing a framework for addressing grievances and promoting dialogue between conflicting parties. Lastly, the support and involvement of the international community can also play a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of the peace treaty, by providing resources and assistance for its implementation and monitoring.

What are the Peace of Augsburg and the Peace of Westphalia?
The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Schmalkaldic League, a group of Protestant princes. It formally recognized the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism within the empire, allowing each prince to choose the religion of his territory. This marked an important step towards religious tolerance and the end of religious wars in the Holy Roman Empire. The Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648, ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. It established a new political order in Europe by recognizing the independence of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland, and by granting more autonomy to the German princes. The treaty also extended the principle of religious tolerance by allowing Calvinism to be practiced alongside Catholicism and Lutheranism. The Peace of Westphalia is considered a milestone in the development of the modern state system and international law.
