Letter to Munnalal G 1. FOREWORD TO “AHAR ANE POSHAN”1 When Dr. Kumarappa has given such an excellent introduction, what more is there for me to say? But Shri Jhaverbhai’s2 love would not leave me alone. For his sake I have gone through the pamphlet from beginning to end. I was not inclined to argue over technical details. Dr. Sushila was with me. I made her read out to me the entire thing. She made a few suggestions which occurred to her. Jhaverbhai made the necessary improvements. This means that this pamphlet hears the stamp of Dr. Sushila and Dr. Manu Trivedi3. I liked the pamphlet. Its language is simple and lucid. I hope that this pamphlet will be read by thousands. M. K.

There are rules and observances for the purpose. Not everyone can be said to have his conscience awakened. From a photostat: G.N. 1320 1 “Diet and Nutrition”. This was, however, not used in the book.

He was in charge of the oil-presses in Maganwadi. 3 Manshankar 4 The addressee who was staying at the Sevagram Ashram had asked: “Truth is God, but what is Truth? Is it a thing which appeals to our conscience?” VOL. 86 : 4 MARCH, 1945 - 28 MAY, 1945 1 3. LETTER TO MUNNALAL G. SHAH March 4, 1945 CHI. MU., See my revised [statement] and then speak to me.

I entirely agree with you regarding the States. As to foreign rule, I could not open the subject with Q.A. Jinnah. He has excluded the States from his calculation. You have not expected me to give any thought to the rest of your scheme. For my opinion is that when the whole of foreign rule goes from the whole of India, then only we shall be free to think with a true sense of responsibility. Yours sincerely, M. K. GANDHI SJT.

NOTE TO GOPE GURBUXANI1 March 5, 1945 Why is it easier to go down or slip down than to rise up step by step? By subduing the flesh, i.e., the beast. From a photostat: G.N. 1321 6. LETTER TO AMRITLAL V. THAKKAR SEVAGRAM, March 5, 1945 Herewith the statement on Orissa. Whatever changes it was possible to make have been made. Ramabehn intends to take the responsibility. We have therefore to place it before the committee. Chi. Mridula most probably knows about it. The medical part of it will have to be shown to the doctors.

My visit to Bangalore is not going to come about. And if it does, it will be for those people to decide where I put up. But you simply reply to them: “His going there unlikely.”2 It seems I have forgotten to write about, the teacher-student relationship. I am not worthy to be anyone’s teacher. But if you consider yourself my student and conduct yourself accordingly, how can I stop you from doing so? 1 The addressee had asked: “Why is it easier to pick up vice than virtue? How should one rise from the grossness to which the flesh is prone?” 2 This is in English. VOL. 86 : 4 MARCH, 1945 - 28 MAY, 1945 3 You should certainly not feel disappointed if your expectations are not fulfilled. You have had glorious success. And where I am, there cannot be disappointment. Let us see what happens in April. Blessings from BAPU From a copy of the Gujarati: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 8. LETTER TO GULBEHN D. MEHTA SEVAGRAM, March 5, 1945 CHI. GULBEHN, I was happy to have your letter. Had Sushila not seen Dinshaw, I would not have known about his distress. In fact there was no cause at all for him to be distressed. Nothing had been lost. Now you have to give him courage. How can you afford to lose heart? You will bring Ardeshar with you in April. Won’t you? One may say he is now fairly grown up. It is beginning to be quite hot during the day here. Blessings from BAPU From a copy of the Gujarati: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 9. LETTER TO JHAVERBHAI PATEL SEVAGRAM, March 5, 1945 CHI. JHAVERBHAI, On the reverse is the Foreword.1 I wrote it yesterday. I remember having written something like it before.

LETTER TO MANZAR ALI SOKHTA SEVAGRAM, March 5, 1945 BHAI MANZAR ALI1, I have gone through the whole thing. Here the question is one of principle. I am sure that an intellectual can do better than an artisan. If he does not, then he cannot become an administrator. The entire history of England bears testimony to this. But I will not interfere. If your experience tells you to do otherwise, do so. The Trust is all right. Blessings from BAPU From a copy of the Hindi: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 11. NOTE TO GOPE GURBUXANI March 5, 1945 Brahmacharya plays an important role in subduing the brute within us. This is my definition: Brahmacharya is that path by which we realize the Brahman. This path lies in completely controlling the five sense organs, the five moter organs and the eleventh, the mind. I have deliberately replied in Hindustani.2 From the Hindi original: G.N. 1322 1 A Congress Worker of U. P. 2 The addressee had asked: “What part does brahmacharya play in the subjugation of the flesh and what is your definition of the word brahmacharya for married people?” VOL. 86 : 4 MARCH, 1945 - 28 MAY, 1945 5 12. INTERVIEW TO ORIENT PRESS March 5, 19451 When asked by the representative of the Orient Press on what he had to say about the recent warning given to local Congress workers by the District Magistrate, Nagpur, 2 Gandhiji said: Congressmen who have associated for the fulfilment of our constructive programme need not be agitated over what local governments say or do. Whether their policy is merely local or represents the Centre, they should learn to shed fear. The District Magistrate’s strictures if they are properly reported are undoubtedly revealing. They need not alarm us. In reply to another question as to how without any political action and only by social and economic improvement the country could reach its destined goal as revealed by him in his statement published on 20th February,3 Gandhiji replied: I must refer you to my statement and you may ask yourself whether, if the programme is universally responded to, it will not lead to swaraj. Indeed the Muslim League and even the Government should join in its prosecution if they are honest about independence. When asked what he thought about anti-Indian propaganda carried on in America by Britishers Gandhiji replied: Anti-Indian British propaganda should not matter if we are truthful. The Hitavada, 6-3-1945 1 The Hindu, 6-3-1945, however, reports this under the date March 4, 1945. 2 The Additional District Magistrate, Nagpur, had told Congressmen that activities banned in the name of the Congress could not be carried on in the name of any camouflaged Congress organization. He had mentioned such organizations as the Nagpur Provincial Congress Representative Committees,the Political Prisoners’ Aid Committee and Congress Ward Committees and warned that action could be taken against them under the Restrictions and Detention Ordinance. 3 Vide “Statement to the Press”, 17-2-1945. 6 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI 13. A LETTER March 6, 1945 My guidance is of no use for you. I do not know your staying capacity or your father’s. Hence you should act as you think proper. You know my general advice as I see from your letter. M. K. GANDHI From a copy: C.W. 10520. Courtesy: Government of Assam 14.

CHIMANLAL, What do you mean when you say, “Leave aside the question of sleeping together”? I do not know how to solve your difficulty. Why don’t you explain it to me more clearly?

Come over at 3.30 Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Gujarati: G.N.

  • Gandhi Warrior of Non-Violence P
    SATYAGRAHA IN ACTION Indians who had spent nearly all their lives in South Africi Gandhi was able to get assistance for them from South India an appeal was made to the Supreme Court and the deportation system was ruled illegal. Meantime, the satyagraha movement continued, although more slowly as a result of government prosecution of the Indians and the animosity of white people to whom Indian merchants owed money. They demanded immediate payment of the entire sum due. The Indians could not, of course, meet their demands. Freed from jail once again in 1909, Gandhi decided that he must go to England to get more help for the Indians in Africa. He hoped to see English leaders and to place the problems before them, but the visit did little beyond acquainting those leaders with the difficulties Indians faced in Africa. In his nearly half year in Britain Gandhi himself, however, became a little more aware of India’s own position. On his way back to South Africa he wrote his first book. Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule. Written in Gujarati and later translated by himself into English, he wrote it on board the steamer Kildonan Castle. Instead of taking part in the usual shipboard life he used a packet of ship’s stationery and wrote the manuscript in less than ten days, writing with his left hand when his right tired. Hind Swaraj appeared in Indian Opinion in instalments first; the manuscript then was kept by a member of the family. Later, when its value was realized more clearly, it was reproduced in facsimile form.

  • March for Freedom Author: Subhadra Sen Gupta Illustrator: Tapas Guha Re-Level: Aditi Ghosh - at SABARMATI ASHRAM - Dhani Looked Anxious
    March for Freedom Author: Subhadra Sen Gupta Illustrator: Tapas Guha Re-level: Aditi Ghosh - AT SABARMATI ASHRAM - Dhani looked anxious. "Why is Gandhiji going on a march? I want to go too! But no one will tell me anything!" he complained gruffly, to himself. Dhani was a nine-year-old boy. He lived with his family in a special place called Sabarmati Ashram. Sabarmati Ashram was made by a very great man called Mahatma Gandhi. The Ashram was a peaceful place on the banks of the River Sabarmati. People here lived and worked together in simple- looking cottages and on the fields around. Dhani loved playing under the Neem trees with his special friends, the birds and squirrels. Everyone had some work to do at the Ashram. They spun their own cloth thread on special wooden wheels called charkhas. They wove this thread into khadi cloth and sewed their own clothes. They fetched their own water, grew their own vegetables, and milked their own goats. Binni the goat, was Dhani's best friend! 2/18 3/18 DHANI TRIES TO FIGURE IT OUT! Dhani ran over to Binni. Binni the goat, looked calm and satisfied. "Why is Gandhiji going on a march, Binni?" Dhani asked seriously. "I want to go too!" Binni chewed slowly on his breakfast; he did not even look up from his grass. Then Dhani peeped into the kitchen. Ammaji looked tired and worried. "Why is Gandhiji going on a march, Ammaji?" Dhani asked, seriously. "I want to go too!" Dhani's mother kept working and fanned the kitchen fire slowly; she looked up but did not say a word.

  • Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948)
    The following text was originally published in PROSPECTS: the quarterly review of education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. 23, no. 3/4, 1993, p. 507–17. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 1999 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869–1948) Krishna Kumar Rejection of the colonial education system, which the British administration had established in the early nineteenth century in India, was an important feature of the intellectual ferment generated by the struggle for freedom. Many eminent Indians, political leaders, social reformers and writers voiced this rejection. But no one rejected colonial education as sharply and as completely as Gandhi did, nor did anyone else put forward an alternative as radical as the one he proposed. Gandhi’s critique of colonial education was part of his overall critique of Western civilization. Colonization, including its educational agenda, was to Gandhi a negation of truth and non-violence, the two values he held uppermost. The fact that Westerners had spent ‘all their energy, industry, and enterprise in plundering and destroying other races’ was evidence enough for Gandhi that Western civilization was in a ‘sorry mess’.1 Therefore, he thought, it could not possibly be a symbol of ‘progress’, or something worth imitating or transplanting in India. It would be wrong to interpret Gandhi’s response to colonial education as some kind of xenophobia. It would be equally wrong to see it as a symptom of a subtle revivalist dogma. If it were possible to read Gandhi’s ‘basic education’ plan as an anonymous text in the history of world education, it would be conveniently classified in the tradition of Western radical humanists like Pestalozzi, Owen, Tolstoy and Dewey.

What kind of mischief was this that led to Hari breaking his arm? Shouldn’t there be some limit to playing pranks? Let each child give his or her reply. QUESTION TWO: Does any child still eat spices? Will those who eat them stop doing so? Those of you who have given up spices, do you feel tempted to eat them? If so, why do you feel that way? QUESTION THREE: Does any of you now make noise in the class or the kitchen? Remember that all of you have promised me that you will make no noise. In Karachi it is not so cold as they tried to frighten me by saying it would be. I am writing this letter at 4 o’clock. The post is cleared early. Reading by mistake four instead of three, I got up at three. I didn’t then feel inclined to sleep for one hour. As a result, I had one hour more for writing letters to the Udyoga Mandir2. How nice !

  • Role of Women in Indian Freedom Movement
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 4 April 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 ROLE OF WOMEN IN INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT Shally Rani Research Scholar Political Science Desh Bhagat University, Amloh(Punjab), India Abstract: The history of Indian freedom struggle would be incomplete without mentioning the contribution of women. The sacrifice made by the women of India newline will occupy the foremost place. The history of freedom struggle is replete with the saga of sacrifice, selflessness, bravery of women. Many of us don’t know that there were hundreds of women who fought side by side with their male counterparts. They fought with true spirit and undismayed courage. The Indian women broke away from various restrictions and got out of their traditional home-oriented roles and responsibilities. So, the participation of women in the freedom struggle and National awakening is simply incredible and praiseworthy. However, it is not easy for women to fight as warrior’s in the male dominating society. Even though females tried to change the perception of such orthodox people who thought women are meant to do only household chores. Moreover, females not only sacrifice their lives but also combat such issues. Rani Laxmi Bhai was one of such women who fought against British role by mitigating all odds, hence this paper entitles to highlight the legacy that women showed in the history by showing their fierce nature. Keywords: Indian, Women, Freedom movement, Role, Society INTRODUCTION In the pre-independence period, the status of women within the country was in a deprived state. The major cause of this was, there was a prevalence of male dominance.
