Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1868–1948), popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi continues to provoke interest even after more than half a century after his assassination in 1948. The much hyped re-enactment of the famous Dandi Yatra (march) in India in 2005 which Gandhi undertook in 1930 as part of his famous salt satyagraha is perhaps suggestive of the relevance of Gandhian technique in political mobilisation in contemporary India. It is true that Richard Attenborough’s film on Gandhi immensely popularised Gandhi all over the world, though Gandhi remains an important topic of research and discussion among those interested in exploring alternative ideological traditions. The task is made easier simply because Gandhi’s own writings on various themes are plenty and less ambiguous. His articulation is not only clear and simple but also meaningful in similar contexts in which he led the most gigantic nationalist struggle of the twentieth century. Gandhi wrote extensively in Indian Opinion, Young India and Harijan, the leading newspapers of the era, where he commented on the issues of contemporary relevance. These texts frequently addressed matters of everyday importance to Indians in the early and middle parts of the twentieth century that may not appear to be relevant now if seen superficially.
