Prof. Dr. Mark Lindley

Born in Washington DC in 1937, Prof. Lindley studied at Harvard University (A.B.), Juilliard School of Music (M.S.) and Columbia University (D. Phil.), and has taught at Columbia, City University of New York, Washington University, University of London, Oxford University, University of Regensburg, Chinese University of Hong Kong, University of Kerala, Istanbul Technical University, Yildiz Technical University and Bogaziçi University.

He has contributed to more than 100 scholarly publications in various languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Chinese, Turkish, Hindi etc.). His writings on Gandhian topics include: "Gandhi and Humanism" (Humanist Chaplaincy, Harvard University, 3rd ed., 2005); "Gandhi and the World Today (1998), A Recent American View" (University of Kerala); "Gandhiji ko yeh kaise vishwagaya ki antarjatiya vivahse, jati pratha ka unmulan karna hosa" (National Gandhi Museum, New Delhi, 1998); "Gandhi's Rhetoric" (in "Journal of Literature and Aesthetics", 1999); and "Gandhi as We Have Known Him", with Lavanam Gora (National Gandhi Museum, New Delhi, 2005), which has been described as "an outstanding work" (Y. P. Anand, Director, National Gandhi Museum, New Delhi), "a distinct contribution to Gandhiana - really a path-breaking study" (Hari Dev Sharma, Director, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi), "a superb achievement of scholarship and sensitivity" (Jacob Pulickan, Coordinator, Centre for Gandhian Studies, University of Kerala) and "refreshingly, or startlingly (according to one's point of view) original. ... Can be read with profit by both Gandhiphiles and Gandhiphobes, as it is likely to correct the biases of the former and the prejudices of the latter" C. N. Patel, Deputy Chief Editor, "The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi"). Prof. Lindley's major writings on music have been published by Cambridge University Press, Schott, Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung (Berlin), Verlag für Systematische Musikforschung (Bonn) and Tre Fontane.

His work in progress (2005) includes books about J. C. Kumarappa (an economist who collaborated closely with Gandhi; this is to be published in September 2006 by Popular Prakashan, Mumbai), about Gora (the 20th-century social-worker in India whose precepts and practice were, according to Gandhi, "far superior" to his own), about Gandhi's wife, Kasturba, about differences and similarities between what is depicted in Attenborough's film "Gandhi" and what historians say really happened, about Beethoven (this is to be published in September 2006 by Schott for the German Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung), and about technical aspects of musical "key-characters"; and articles about J. S. Bach (for the journal "Early Music") and about globalization and violence.
