Gandhi The Forgotten Mahatma

A blend of personal account of Dr. J.C. Jain, an eminent author, of his efforts to save the Mahatma before his assassination, and the exposure of the wrong-doers after the event, this work high lights the shocking indifference displayed by the authorities to protect the Mahatma. The book presents an interesting account of the historic events in South Africa associated with Gandhi's life, his entry into Indian political scene and his launching of the earth-shaking Satyagraha movement. This work also shows, how the innovation of tried and tested weapons such as non-co-operation, non-violence and civil disobedience is rendered ineffective by today's politicians.
