JLF International's Post

Mahatma Gandhi wrote letters prodigiously. He wrote from wherever home was, from trains, aboard ships, and from the jail, where he spent long stretches of time. Among the letters he wrote, those to his family form a distinct genre - intimate and yet full of public concerns. Those to his youngest son, Devadas, have remained largely unpublished. Academic, former diplomat and author Gopalkrishna Gandhi brings to us a compilation of Gandhi's letters to his son Devdas in his latest book, Scorching Love. They give a glimpse of the householder in the leader and the father in the mass icon. His deep love for his kin was scorching but also clasps the recipient in a bond that is beyond description for it is utterly selfless.

A Frank Friendship

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
