ABSTRACT
A t first he was too modest to seek for a personal solution of his questions from M r. Gandhi himself, but after the fast was over I pressed him one morning to do so. A graphic and accurate account of the scene and the conversation that ensued was drawn up afterwards for Young India by Mahadev Desai, who was present at the interview and wrote as follows:—
“ Among those who visited Delhi during the weeks of fasting, penance, and prayer there was a young student from Santiniketan named Ramachandran. H e is one of the pupils of M r. Andrews, and had no difficulty in
persuading his teacher to permit him to stay at Delhi for some time after the fast was over. In the end Mr. Andrews took Ramachandran upstairs and said to Gandhiji, ‘ I have not even introduced Ramachandran as yet to you. But he has been all the while with us, helping us devotedly with true love. He wants to ask you some questions; and I shall be so glad if you could have a talk with him before he leaves to-morrow to go back to Santiniketan.’ Gandhiji at once gave his consent.
