And yet something is missing in the puzzle that Gandhi was and it. This volume attempts to understand and to explain him by laying a little more emphasis on the societal factors and the situations that shaped him and structured his personality during his formative years in England and Sough Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Apart from what little Gandhi told us in his autobiography, \u003ci\u003eMy Experiments\u003c\/i\u003ewith Truth, nothing much is known about the society in which he lived and the cultural and intellectual ethos with which he grew. The autobiography, while a book of great historical importance, is not of much value as a source of information and needs to be supplemented, corrected and balanced by drawing upon contemporary documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This is by no means an easy task. Gandhi is many men in one. Moreover, as a continuously evolving phenomenon, Gandhi underwent several startling changes in his habits, views, and approaches to life. He therefore cannot be evaluated out of the time-frame that was in existence at the time we talk about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Gandhi suffered a lot by the process of deification that started with his death or even before it. Much that is written about him is sheer hagiography interspersed with a few pieces of demonology. His human face is disfigured and almost lost in the eulogies and the condemnations heaped on him. We must strive to brush off the cobwebs gathering around him and portray him as the simple yet stupendous figure he was. He was not born a saint but raised himself to Mahatmahood by strenuous efforts. He was singularly unfit for public life but made himself 'The Leader' through agonizing struggles, converting his several failures and mistakes into stepping stones to the ultimate glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sanghavi chronicles these changes that were full of difficult decisions in personal and public matters till Gandhi arrived to occupy the top position in the list of those who lead their fellow beings to their mundane goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProf. Nagindas Sanghavi earned his Masters degree from the University of Mumbai in 1946. He taught undergraduates in various colleges as a lecturer and headed a Department of Politics and History. He handled a course in 'Government and Politics in India' for the post-graduate students of the University of Mumbai. He retired in 1981.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e he has translated into Gujarati many treatises on political science and a history of USA. The Parichaya Trust published a series of his lengthy articles on the Indian Constitution and political developments. He is the main author of \u003ci\u003eSwaraj Darshan,\u003c\/i\u003e which deals with post-graduate students of several universities in Gujarat. His \u003ci\u003eGujarat- A Political Analysis\u003c\/i\u003ewas published by the Centre for Social Studies, of which he was a Fellow for two years. Two collections of his political essays received awards from the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad, and in 1995 he was adjudged by Gujarat State Sahitya Akademi as the best political communist in Gujarati language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e He is a regular commentator on the political happenings in India and his syndicated columns are published by various dailies in Mumbai, Surat, Anand and Ahmedabad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eExcerpts from Review:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIS is one book that was waiting to be written. As a comprehensive study of the formative years of Gandhi and written primarily as an individual's political biography, it will surely be not only a contribution to our understanding of Gandhi's life and work, but also to peace and conflict studies in general. This is not dry history but a historian's attempt to gauge something of the spirit of Gandhi's times and to define the matrix-personal, social and political-from within which Gandhi's worldview emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eASHIS NANDY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e
