The Gandhi Story, In His Own Words

Mahendra Meghani, Mahatma Gandhi

Synopsis
M. Meghani: “For years it has been my earnest desire that these two books may be read widely all over the world, especially by the young generation. But their great length made it difficult… The lapse of copyright in Gandhi’s writings (2008) made it possible for me to attempt a combined condensation of the two volumes. Both were written… in the 1920s in Gujarati and translated into English… Now the condensations too are available in both languages.”
Born in Mumbai and educated in Bhavnagar, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, Mahendra Meghani left Columbia University and settled in India to live a lifestyle congruent with his values. Inspired by Gandhi to a life of voluntary simplicity and service, this son of the legendary Gujarati poet Shri Jhaverchand Meghani — named by Gandhi as the national poet of India — carried forth his father’s legacy to bring world literature to Gujaratis, and Gujarati literature to the world.
