Description:

He article deals with hunger strikes as a peculiar form of political pressure and presents a brief overview of ites development in modern Indian history. The author points out the substantial difference between the approach of the Father of Independent India, Mahatma Gandhi, who resorted to hunger strikes as a noble method of moral coercion, and that of the whole crowd of post-independent India´s politicians misusing it for the purpose of sheer extortion. Even in recent years there is a growing number of highly controversial cases, making it apparent that there should be no space for such political weapon in a democracy since it goes against its fundamental principles., Zdeněk Štipl., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
