TRIBUTES TO MAHATMA GANDHI

(From Indian and Global leaders)

Life of love and truth

Gandhiji's death is truly a loss to mankind which sorely needs the living light of those ideals of love and tolerance for which he strove and died. In her hour of deep sorrow India is proud to have given to the world a man of his imperishable renown and is confident that his example will be a source of inspiration and strength in the fulfilment of her destiny...
India, indeed the world, will not see the like of him again, perhaps, for centuries.
Our one consolation in this hour of unparalleled grief is that his life of truth, tolerance and love towards his fellows may inspire our troubled world to save itself by following his noble example.

- Lord Mountbatten

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A leader of his people, unsupported by only outward authority; a politician whose success rests not upon craft nor mastery of technical devices, but simply on the convincing power of his personality; a victorious fighter who has always scorned the use of force; a man of wisdom and humility, armed with resolve and inflexible consistency, who has devoted all his strength to the uplifting of his people and the betterment of their lot; a man who has confronted the brutality of Europe with the dignity of the simple human being, and thus at all times risen superior.
Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.

- Albert Einstein

Impressions of Gandhi? You might well ask for someone's impression of the Himalayas. - Bernard Shaw

Just an old man in a loin cloth in distant India. yet when he died, humanity wept. - Louis Fischer

On Frontier Gandhi's death anniversary, a reminder of how the Indian subcontinent has lost its way

On Frontier Gandhi's death anniversary, a reminder of how the Indian subcontinent has lost its way

Peace and communal amity that Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan toiled for all his life is a distant dream today.

Ajaz Ashraf

On the 30th death anniversary of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan today, it is apt to remember him as the man who challenged the subcontinent’s pet stereotypes. He was a Pakhtun or Pathan from the North West Frontier Province, now called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where people are said to still subscribe to the code of revenge. Yet Frontier Gandhi, as Ghaffar Khan was popularly known, led a non-violent movement against the British in the province, his followers refusing to retaliate even as they were mowed down.

The newly-inaugurated Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum Store, courtesy Visual Quest India,
is a portal into the life of the Mahatma

Birad Rajaram Yajnik loves history despite his commerce, printing and technology background. “I didn’t know much about Gandhi until my professional life required it of me,” he explains, as he sits in his office at Visual Quest India surrounded by various trinkets from history.

Visual Quest India is a movement to reintroduce history through the ever-immersive means of tech, and Birad has led one part of the movement through his production of coffee table books, including MKG – Imaging Peace Truth and Ahimsa, a limited edition book on Gandhi’s life which includes letters and rare photographs acquired from various corners of the earth. Exactly 1869 copies of the book have been printed to coincide with the year of Gandhi’s birth.

So when time came around to bring another project to life, Birad conjured up the idea of using a bus; a mobile experience that will add a fast-paced and more engaging means to consume history. The planning took six weeks followed by arduous work to create the mobile store which was then inaugurated on December 20 at Bapu Ghat in Langar Houz, one of the few locations Gandhi’s ashes were sent to.

Newsletter : Letters to Gandhi ( Book Review )

LETTERS TO GANDHI

Who were the people who wrote letters to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi? A new volume seeks to profile his early correspondents

We know that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a prolific correspondent who wrote letters on everything from the mundane to how to win independence. What of his correspondents? Who were the people who wrote to him? What did they write about? The Collected Works give us all that Gandhi wrote, but not what his correspondents wrote to him. That gap is now being rectified.

We now have the first volume of an ambitious project to publish all such letters that have been maintained at the Sabarmati Ashram. There are apparently 8,500 of them in Sabarmati. The aim is to publish a multi-volume, multi-language annotated collection of these letters.

The first volume covering the years 1889-1900 has been put together with great care by the editors, and gives a glimpse of a journey in the making.
