ABSTRACT
Mahatma Gandhi is now renowned throughout the world—and renowned not for creating an atmosphere of fear and suspicion such as drives nations into a fierce struggle for supremacy in arms but for putting courage into his own countrymen and leading them along the lines of moral suasion. But when I first knew him he was just the ordinary courteous English-educated young man, not one wit different from thousands of other Indians who come to Europe. He was under thirty and, dressed in European clothes like the rest, had nothing noteworthy about him.
