ON TRUST: AN UNFINISHED GANDHIAN PROJECT AND ZIZEK'S DIAGNOSED SYMPTOM OF SOCIETY

I am quoting here Prof. Manindra thakur, an associate professor of JNU, he said, "The biggest Gandhian project is to develop trust. To generate human to human trust and how to teach humans to love each other unconditionally. 

I think it is highly to be developed area theoretically and of course practically. Zizek has a very fascinating and insightful theory of ideology, which not going into theoretical details, we can paraphrase it as believing in deeds without believing in thoughts and speech.  I think something can be done in this direction to combine Gandhi's generic seeming idea and Zizek's idea of belief.
