Mr, Gandhi

---

This is not a formal biography of the great Gandhiji, but a portrait of the man behind the public image. Focusing on the inner stresses and fires that
forged his character, it shows Gandhi not as some kind of emanation of divinity, but as a man of extraordinary faith and capacity. Cast from a leader-dictator mold, shy and yet intrepid, possessing no visible power, he was the inspiration and drive that welded the Indians together, that raised the lowliest of the low with unlooked-for hope, that faced the British Raj with an irresistible force.
Mr. Shahani gives perspective to Gandhi's activities by continually viewing them against the background of Indian social, political, and religious problems.
At the same time, he succeeds remarkably in translating into simple, intelligible terms the difficult philosophical ideas that inspired Gandhi's work. Here. then, is the story of how a gawky, mousy young man set out for South Africa in search of a law practice only to find inequities that enlisted him for over twenty years in the untiring service of his countrymen on that continent, and nurtured in him a determined and dedicated sense of mission that would culminate, years later, in the triumphant expulsion of the British from India.
Here, also, is a thoughtful analysis of Gandhi's paradoxical and enigmatic personality: his self-denial and simplicity, his asceticism and absolutism, and his invincible secret weapon-passive resistance
