Explanation

"Unto This Last" is a collection of essays by John Ruskin, a Victorian-era social critic. The central theme of the book revolves around the idea that the well-being of individuals is intrinsically linked to the welfare of society as a whole. This concept deeply resonated with Mahatma Gandhi and influenced his philosophy of life, particularly his belief in the importance of selflessness, service to others, and the pursuit of social justice.
