Why Mahatma Gandhi is becoming popular in China
Why Mahatma Gandhi is
becoming popular in China
By Ankur Jain
For the first time,
Indian independence hero Mahatma Gandhi's own story of his life is to be
available in China.
The
Story of My Experiments With Truth, which has sold more
than 200,000 copies in India alone and has been translated in to some 35
languages, will now be translated in Mandarin to cater to what Chinese scholars
say is the "growing interest" in the leader in their country.
Five volumes of Gandhi's
selected works containing his writings on satyagraha [people's movement],
religion, politics and speeches, will also be translated into Mandarin.
"Gandhi's works have
largely not been available in Russia and China so far. We are really excited
with the growing interest about his writings in China," said Vivek Desai
of the Ahmadabad-based Navajivan Trust, the 84-year-old publishing house
founded by Gandhi which has published more than 300 volumes of the leader's
works.
