1. Letter to Hermann Kallenbach 1. LETTER TO HERMANN KALLENBACH AHMEDABAD, May 21 [1915] MY DEAR FRIEND, Here am I now hoping to settle down. The boys are at the Gurukul, Hardwar, I have wired for them and they may be here any day. Two cottages have been placed at my disposal. They are isolated from this big city. There are 3 acres of ground attached to them. Living there I shall conduct the Institution1 along our lines and shall search for an agricultural plot. I pleaded for admission to the Society after Mr. Gokhale’s death as I knew that such was his wish.2 Of course, my admission could not mean any alteration of my views. They are too firmly fixed to be altered. I find here nothing but confirmation. I am passing through a curious phase. I see around me on the surface nothing but hypocrisy, humbug and degradation and yet underneath it I trace a divinity I missed there as elsewhere. This is my India. It may be my blind love or ignorance or a picture of my own imagination. Anyway it gives me peace and happiness. It fills me with hope and confidence without which no man could work. I wonder if you will stick to your carpentry and restaurant- keeping. Both are good education. Your diary does not even give me an idea of your monthly expenses. Does Polak continue to give you satisfaction by way of letters? Do you do any reading at all? Have the rosary and Imitation of Christ disappeared from your view entirely? With love, OLD FRIEND From the original: Gandhi-Kallenbach Correspondence.

I returned only yesterday, after visiting Rajkot and Limbdi. I have no personal relation with Hussain Tyobji so that I could write to him. However, Chhabildas should apply immediately, or you may do so on his behalf. You . may mention my name and say that I know him well and will be ready to give a guarantee [on his behalf]. If he then inquires of me, I shall be able to say something. Have you done anything about what you were to send me concerning Chhotu?

MEHTA AHMEDABAD, May 25, 1915 BHAISHRI KUNVARJI, I do not see the least possibility of my being able to attend the conference this time. I feel there is need for me to stay here at present. I find I have been away from the students too long and should not therefore leave at once. I must therefore look for another occasion to visit Surat.

A. NATESAN AHMEDABAD, May 28, 1915 DEAR MR. NATESAN, I have your letter enclosing cheque for Rs. 3,000 for which please find receipt herewith. I notice that the Bangalore ‘talk’ has been much misrepresented and that Mrs. Besant has done me no justice whatsoever. I saw the ‘talk’ only the day before yesterday and it is a parody of what I actually said. I never sent Mrs. Besant any explanation for publication I now hear that she has published what purports to be an explanation from me. Could you please send me the copies if you have seen them. Yours sincerely, M. K. GANDHI From a photostat of the original in Gandhiji’s hand: G.N. 2229 5. LETTER TO G. B. VEERASWAMY AHMEDABAD, May 30, 1915 DEAR MR. VEERASWAMI, You may come here at any time you like and you will stay if we mutually agree. .1 now nothing is obligatory. English books are stocked here in a large quantity and newspapers are also received. Those who are in the Institution2 do write letters and stamps or post-cards are provided for them. The rest can be discussed personally if you decide to come. Servants of India Society may not admit you as you are only a matriculate. Yours truly, GANDHI From a photostat: C.W. 11015.

BALASUNDARA SASTRI AHMEDABAD, June 1, 1915 DEAR SIR, Mr. Natesan1 has sent me your letters addressed to him and to me. I thank you for both. Your son2 has been in correspondence with me. His last letter stated that he was driven away by you. I therefore wrote to him yesterday saying that in that case he was free to come to me. His ultimate aim seems to be to join the Servants of India Society. If your boy comes here and is found to be not of mature age so far as I am concerned he will be certainly sent back to you. I take no boysunder age without the consent of their parents. You may therefore fully depend upon my co-operation with you. Yours faithfully, M. K. GANDHI MR. P. G.

LETTER TO HERMANN KALLENBACH AHMEDABAD, June 4 [1915]1 MY DEAR FRIEND, I feel like crying out to you ‘Do come and help me!’ Mrs, Gandhi is again down with her swellings. She has lost all power of resistance. She weeps like a child, is ever angry with me as if I was the party responsible for her swellings. I am over head and ears in work. This institution costs me much trouble. I wish I had the time to 1 G. A. Natesan 2 G. B. Veeraswamy 3 From the contents 4 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI describe to you the troubles I am passing through. I am not dejected but I feel lonely. You know what I mean. Heaven knows what will happen. There are so many sick people on the Farm. I want hours of solitude and have not a minute of it. Do ‘buck up’ and prepare for the struggle of the spirit when you are able to come here. I know nothing about some honour1 that has been conferred upon me. I have just received a letter of congratulations. More in my next. With love, OLD FRIEND From the original: Gandhi-Kallenbach Correspondence. Courtesy: National Archives of India 8. LETTER TO MAGANLAL GANDHI Vaishakh Vad 7 [June 4, 1915] CHI. MAGANLAL, I have your letter. I see that you are rather upset. The fault, I am sure, is mine. In attempting to ride too many horses at a time, I am in danger of falling off all of them. I have not quite, for my enthusiasm proceeds from an eager desire for service. I may not, however, be able to hold on long if I continue to go the way I am doing, forgetting all about service. Be patient. I intend to send you all, on suitable occasions, to different places, so that you may see things for yourselves. Everything will depend on what help we get and how many we can have with us here. I am perfectly confident of this, at any rate, that I shall satisfy the aspirations of you all; meanwhile, I do feel that the life you have all led so far has not been in vain, that, on the contrary, you have learnt much. I am not unaware that you have not attained to a state of perfect non-attachment, for I have not attained it myself and I know that you are yet to reach even my level. If we stop making noise about the vows, we shall “not find ourselves in unhappy situations as we occasionally do. And now one question. Explain to me what you mean by “not having attained to a state of perfect non-attachment”. I can explain [how that is so with me]. For example, I observe brahmacharya, but not in all its subtle aspects. I cannot say that my 1 The Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal; vide the following item. VOL. 15: 21 MAY, 1915 - 31 AUGUST, 1917 5 mind or eyes are never disturbed. 2. I maintain truthfulness, but I cannot say that I am never guilty of exaggeration, consciously or unconsciously. To say what I like saying and not to say anything which I do like saying casts a shadow on the vow of truthfulness. 3. I make untiring efforts to control the palate but I observe that I extract the utmost pleasure from the five articles [I permit myself in a day]. But I do want to keep these and other vows inviolate and make progress in them day by day, and I am quite confident that 1 shall succeed. I feel that I am not likely now to depart from a literal observance.1 From the Gujarati original in Gandhiji’s hand: C.W. 5685. Courtesy: Radhabehn Choudhri 9. LETTER TO RANCHHODLAL PATWARI AHMEDABAD, Vaishakh Vad 8 [June 5, 1915]2 RESPECTED SHRI RANCHHODBHAI, Having been very busy with various affairs, I could not write earlier. Those at Hardwar were expected to arrive any day and so I could not go to Gondal nor could I stay on [at Rajkot].

  • “In the Creator's Image: a Metabiographical Study of Two
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 18, Issue 4 (Nov. - Dec. 2013), PP 44-47 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org “In the Creator’s Image: A Metabiographical Study of Two Visual Biographies of Gandhi”. Preeti Kumar Abstract: A metabiographical analysis is concerned with the relational nature of biographical works and stresses how the temporal, geographical, intellectual and ideological location of the biographer constructs the biographical subject differently. The changing pictures of Gandhi in his manifold biographies raise questions as to how the subject’s identity is mediated to the readers and audience. Published in 2011, the Manga biography of Gandhi by Kazuki Ebine had as one of its primary sources the film Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. However, in spite of closely following the cinematic text, the Gandhi in Ebine’s graphic narrative is constructed differently from the protagonist of the source text. This paper analyses the narrative devices, the cinematic and comic vocabulary, the thematic concerns and the dominant discourses underlying the two visual biographies as exemplifying the cultural and ideological profile of the biographer. Key terms: Visual Biography, metabiography, Manga, Gandhi, ideology Biography, whether in books, theatre, television and film documentaries or the new media has become the dominant narrative mode of our time. The word „biography‟ literally means „life-writing‟ from the Medieval Greek: „bios‟ meaning „life‟ and „graphia‟ or „writing‟. The earliest definition of the term was offered by Dryden in his introduction to the Lives of Plutarch, in which he referred to “biography” as the “history of particular men‟s lives”.

  • Gandhi E Le Donne Occidentali
    Gandhi e le donne occidentali Di Thomas Weber* Abstract: This paper is the Italian translation of an edited chapter of Thomas Weber’s Going Native. Gandhi’s Relationship With Western Women (Roli Books, New Delhi 2011) in which Gandhi’s attitudes to and relationships with women are analysed. Many Western women inspired him, worked with him, supported him in his political activities in South Africa and India, or contributed to shaping his international image. Of particular note are those women who “became native” to live with Gandhi as close friends and disciples. Through these fascinating women, we get a different insight into Gandhi’s life. *** Il rapporto di Gandhi con le donne si è rivelato di irresistibile fascino per molti. Molto spesso le persone che non conoscono praticamente nulla del Mahatma commentano il fatto che “dormì” con giovani donne durante la vecchiaia. Gran parte di questo deriva dall’interesse pruriginoso promosso da biografie sensazionalistiche o libri volti a smascherare il “mito del Mahatma” (Ved Metha 1976). Gandhi parlava spesso delle donne come del sesso più forte (e questo è stato visto come una forma di paternalismo dai critici, soprattutto di orientamento femminista) e di come desiderasse essere una madre per i suoi seguaci. Non sorprende pertanto che le collezioni delle sue lettere e dei suoi discorsi “sulle donne” siano molte. Ciò che meraviglia è quanto poco lavoro accademico sia stato intrapreso sul suo atteggiamento nei confronti e sulle sue relazioni con le donne. Nel 1953, Eleanor Morton pubblicò un libro intitolato The Women in Gandhi’s Life (Women Behind Mahatma Gandhi nell’edizione britannica dell’anno successivo).

  • Formative Years
    CHAPTER 1 Formative Years Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, a seaside town in western India. At that time, India was under the British raj (rule). The British presence in India dated from the early seventeenth century, when the English East India Company (EIC) first arrived there. India was then ruled by the Mughals, a Muslim dynasty governing India since 1526. By the end of the eighteenth century, the EIC had established itself as the paramount power in India, although the Mughals continued to be the official rulers. However, the EIC’s mismanagement of the Indian affairs and the corruption among its employees prompted the British crown to take over the rule of the Indian subcontinent in 1858. In that year the British also deposed Bahadur Shah, the last of the Mughal emperors, and by the Queen’s proclamation made Indians the subjects of the British monarch. Victoria, who was simply the Queen of England, was designated as the Empress of India at a durbar (royal court) held at Delhi in 1877. Viceroy, the crown’s representative in India, became the chief executive-in-charge, while a secretary of state for India, a member of the British cabinet, exercised control over Indian affairs. A separate office called the India Office, headed by the secretary of state, was created in London to exclusively oversee the Indian affairs, while the Colonial Office managed the rest of the British Empire. The British-Indian army was reorganized and control over India was established through direct or indirect rule. The territories ruled directly by the British came to be known as British India.

  • Volume Fourty-One : (Dec 2, 1927
    1. SPEECH AT PUBLIC MEETING, CHICACOLE December 3, 1927 You seem to be dividing all the good things with poor Utkal1. I flattered myself with the assumption that my arrival here is one of the good things, for I was going to devote all the twenty days to seeing the skeletons of Orissa; but as you, the Andhras, are the gatekeepers of Orissa on this side, you have intercepted my march. But I am glad you have anticipated me also. After entering Andhra Desh, I have been doing my business with you and I know God will reward all those unknown people who have been co-operating with me who am a self- appointed representative of Daridranarayana. And here, too, you have been doing the same thing. Last night, several sister came and presented me with a purse. But let me tell you this is not after all my tour in Andhra. I am not going to let you alone so easily as this, nor will Deshabhakta Konda Venkatappayya let me alone, because I have toured in some parts of Ganjam. I am under promise to tour Andhra during the early part of next year, and let me hope what you are doing is only a foretaste of what you are going to do next year. You have faith in true non-co-operation. There is the great drink evil, eating into the vitals of the labouring population. I would like you to non-co-operate with that evil without a single thought and I make a sporting proposal, viz., that those who give up drink habit should divide their savings with me on behalf of Daridranarayan.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • Gandhi's View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious
    religions Article Gandhi’s View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious Theology Ephraim Meir 1,2 1 Department of Jewish Philosophy, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] 2 Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Wallenberg Research Centre at Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7600, South Africa Abstract: This article describes Gandhi’s view on Judaism and Zionism and places it in the framework of an interreligious theology. In such a theology, the notion of “trans-difference” appreciates the differences between cultures and religions with the aim of building bridges between them. It is argued that Gandhi’s understanding of Judaism was limited, mainly because he looked at Judaism through Christian lenses. He reduced Judaism to a religion without considering its peoplehood dimension. This reduction, together with his political endeavors in favor of the Hindu–Muslim unity and with his advice of satyagraha to the Jews in the 1930s determined his view on Zionism. Notwithstanding Gandhi’s problematic views on Judaism and Zionism, his satyagraha opens a wide-open window to possibilities and challenges in the Near East. In the spirit of an interreligious theology, bridges are built between Gandhi’s satyagraha and Jewish transformational dialogical thinking.
