ABSTRACT

An American tourist once said that he came to India to see three things—the Himalayas, the Taj Mahal, and Mahatma Gandhi. We in this country stand too near Mahatma Gandhi to see his personality in its true proportions or to understand the significance in human history of what he calls his experiments with Truth. He has himself declared that his message is universal, though it is delivered in India and in terms of Indian politics. But politics is the least part of the man whose ultimate aim is to lift the human species to a higher moral and spiritual plane.
