THE AUTHOR

Clifford Mandhardt writes of Gandhi and the ideas he represented from the background of close personal experience in India, and careful study. He went to India in 1925 to become director of a neighborhood house in Bombay. He became later also Director of a leading school for social work in Bombay, and of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust. He returned to this country from India in 1941.

In an earlier pamphlet in this series, Freedom Without Violence: India’s Struggle for Independence, Dr. Manshardt discussed Mr. Gandhi’s political leadership and his influence on the Indian independence movement. For this reason, he has confined himself in the present pamphlet to Mr. Gandhi’s fundamental thinking.
