ABSTRACT

It is not easy to give a just measure of a great man in his lifetime. And in some ways it is even harder if you know him personally. For you must stand a little way off if you are to see a man in true perspective. I have no wish to stand even at arm’s length from Mahatma Gandhi. While he lives I find it best to try, by following his thought from week to week in his paper Harijan, to keep as close to him as possible.
