DOWNLOAD EBOOKDrawn from letters and interviews with family members, this biography yields a fascinating account of one of Gandhi's four sons, offering insights into Gandhi the father and illustrating the difficulties and successes Gandhi's heirs have had in continuing his legacy. This is the story of Gandhi's second son, Manilal Gandhi, who is often lost in the shadow of his father, but led a phenomenal life of his own. Following in his father's footsteps with regard to political involvement, Manilal struck out on his own as a young man and became an important South African journalist. Gandhi's Prisoner? explores a side of Gandhi that biographers have either neglected, misunderstood or judged harshly due to their select focus on his controversial relationship with his eldest son, Harilal. Based on hundreds of letters between Gandhi and his four sons, on Manilal's unpublished letters to family and friends, and on interviews with family, as well as a careful reading of the newspaper Manilal edited, this biography provides an untold history of both Phoenix Settlement and Indian Opinion after Gandhi left South Africa. At the same time, it seeks a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between father and son.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCorrection of an individual who had committed a crime and send him back to the very same society in one of the prime objectives of the Prison system which is part of the Criminal Justice System of the country. Even after long 65 years of Independence the prisons and correctional system in India have not changed much to achieve the said objective. Because there is not much substantial amendments to the prime legislations in the field, mainly in the Prisons Act 1894 and Probation of Offenders Act 1958.There are daily reports from news papers regarding the human rights violations in various prisons in India. Gandhiji suggested enactment of a new Prisons Act in order to suit the objective of correction. Till then the prison officers will be helpless to change the atmosphere of Prisons as they have to act according to existing law. Prisons needs change in order to prevent thousands of simple offenders becoming hardens due to the treatment received within the prisons. Here the observations and suggestions of Gandhiji on prison conditions and prison reforms becomes relevant as it gives an insight on what is happening within the prison walls and the need and ways of change in a positive way and in the larger interest of the society as each individual has got a dignified existence. It is interesting to find that Mahatma Gandhi fought earnestly by giving petitions, fasting within and out of prisons, whenever violations of human rights had come to his notice relating to him or to other prisoners in the prisons of South Africa or in India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKManu Gandhi, M.K. Gandhi’s grand-niece, joined him in 1943 at the age of fifteen. An aide to Gandhi’s ailing wife Kasturba in the Aga Khan Palace prison in Pune, Manu remained with him until his assassination. She was a partner in his final yajna, an experiment in Brahmacharya, and his invocation of Rama at the moment of his death. Spanning two volumes, The Diary of Manu Gandhi is a record of her life and times with M.K. Gandhi between 1943 and 1948. Authenticated by Gandhi himself, the meticulous and intimate entries in the diary throw light on Gandhi’s life as a prisoner and his endeavour to establish the possibility of collective non-violence. They also offer a glimpse into his ideological conflicts, his efforts to find his voice, and his lonely pilgrimage to Noakhali during the riots of 1946. The first volume (1943–44) chronicles the spiritual and educational pursuits of an adolescent woman who takes up writing as a mode of self-examination. The author shares a moving portrait of Kasturba Gandhi’s illness and death and also unravels the deep emotional bond she develops with Gandhi, whom she calls her ‘mother’.
