Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi His Own Story written by C. F Andrews and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Material of this Autobiography, which Mahatma Gandhi has called The Story of My Experiments with Truth, was first dictated by him in his own mother-tongue to one of his fellow political prisoners during long imprisonment in the years 1922-24. It was afterward continued in a serial form, as a feature of his Gujarati paper, called Navajivan, and translated into English by his intimate friends, Mahadev Desai and Pyarelal Nair, receiving at the same time his own careful revision. Miss Slade, who is known in Mr. Gandhi's Asram as Mirabehn, also assisted in shaping its final English form. The whole series of short chapters has now been published by the Navajivan Press at Ahmedabad in two large volumes, containing over twelve hundred octavo pages. Another book of equal importance has been used, wherein Mahatma Gandhi describes personally his own (Soul-Force) in South Africa, and the translation has been made by Valji Govindji Desai. Its Indian publisher is Mr. S. Ganesan, Triplicane, Madras, India. When we turn to the three volumes and try to gain the clue to Mahatma Gandhi's estimate of human conduct, it will be found to entre in three cardinal virtues, current in all his writings. These are Truth, Loving-kindness, and inner purity. Since this book was compiled and edited the Indian situation has become very grave indeed.

Download or read book The Unseen Indira Gandhi written by K. P. Mathur (Physician) and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an intimate look at India's fromer Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. While biographers have generally seen Indira only through the lens of politics, Dr Mathur gives us a moving and witty account of the three-term PM as a person. The book provides us with a rare look at the trajectory of her development as a politician as well. Dr K.P. Mathur joined the Safdarjung Hospital as a physician in 1953. His patients included personalities like V.K. Krishna Menon, Dr S. Radhakrishnan, G.B. Pant and Lal Bahadur Shastri, among others. Later, when Indira Gandhi became PM in 1966 and required the services of a physician, Dr Mathur took charge. Thus began an association that lasted for almost 20 years; in fact, Dr Mathur was one of the last persons whom Indira Gandhi met before she was assassinated by her guards on October 31, 1984.

Download or read book Great Soul written by Joseph Lelyveld and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original, stirring book on Mahatma Gandhi that deepens our sense of his achievements and disappointments—his success in seizing India’s imagination and shaping its independence struggle as a mass movement, his recognition late in life that few of his followers paid more than lip service to his ambitious goals of social justice for the country’s minorities, outcasts, and rural poor. “A revelation. . . . Lelyveld has restored human depth to the Mahatma.”—Hari Kunzru, The New York Times Pulitzer Prize–winner Joseph Lelyveld shows in vivid, unmatched detail how Gandhi’s sense of mission, social values, and philosophy of nonviolent resistance were shaped on another subcontinent—during two decades in South Africa—and then tested by an India that quickly learned to revere him as a Mahatma, or “Great Soul,” while following him only a small part of the way to the social transformation he envisioned. The man himself emerges as one of history’s most remarkable self-creations, a prosperous lawyer who became an ascetic in a loincloth wholly dedicated to political and social action. Lelyveld leads us step-by-step through the heroic—and tragic—last months of this selfless leader’s long campaign when his nonviolent efforts culminated in the partition of India, the creation of Pakistan, and a bloodbath of ethnic cleansing that ended only with his own assassination. India and its politicians were ready to place Gandhi on a pedestal as “Father of the Nation” but were less inclined to embrace his teachings. Muslim support, crucial in his rise to leadership, soon waned, and the oppressed untouchables—for whom Gandhi spoke to Hindus as a whole—produced their own leaders. Here is a vital, brilliant reconsideration of Gandhi’s extraordinary struggles on two continents, of his fierce but, finally, unfulfilled hopes, and of his ever-evolving legacy, which more than six decades after his death still ensures his place as India’s social conscience—and not just India’s.
