Only for sale in India.
‘I am not able to leave Bengal and Bengal will not let me go.’
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s first visit to Bengal was on 4 July 1896 when he disembarked in Calcutta while on a visit from South Africa. His last visit to Calcutta commenced shortly before 15 August 1947, the day India gained independence.
A Frank Friendship presents a meticulous compilation of newspaper reports, letters, excerpts from contemporary accounts and Gandhi’s own writings, and extensive annotations that bring to light many known and unknown characters and events of the time. It also contains illuminating accounts of Gandhi’s interactions with the greats of Bengal, such as Rabindranath Tagore, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das and Sarat Chandra and Subhash Chandra Bose, which reveal their extraordinary personalities. Through this all, we see Gandhi continuously evolve as a politician and a strategist in the struggle against colonialism, an organizer of mass movements and individual initiatives, mainly his own.
Running through the text, as it does through Gandhi’s thoughts, prayers, decisions and extensive travels, is the pulse of the people of Bengal, a people whose manifold talents a

Puffin Lives: Mahatma Gandhi: The Father of The Nation
'On his passport he was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The poet Rabindranath Tagore gave him the title Mahatma - the great soul- but he was rather uncomfortable with that. Nelson Mandela calls him a sacred warrior , others describe him as the the saint of the spinning wheel and we now declare him as our Father of the Nation . A courageous freedom fighter, a shrewd politician, a passionate social reformer and a staunch nationalist, Mahatma Gandhi was all this and much more. He was the most unusual leader this country has seen, and one of the most influential personalities whose name is synonymous with India s independence. He was the one who touched the lives of millions, whose ideals of satyagraha and ahimsa inspired great leaders of the world, and who could make the entire country come to a halt by going on a fast. Through a vivid narrative, author Subhadra Sen Gupta recreates the life and legacy of this phenomenal leader to portray the man beneath the simple handspun clothes, who ate saltless vegetables and bitter neem chutney; who greeted kings and paupers alike; who walked 240 miles at the age of sixty to break the Salt Law; and whose entire life was dedicated to truth and to peace.
