"During his historic tour in riot-torn Noakhali on 19 January, 1947, Mahatma Gandhi was seen removing excreta from the road with the help of some dry leaves. Urchins wanted to make it inaccessible for him. The companions objected to the 78 year old man clearing the thoroughfare of human excreta. He replied, "You little know the joy it gives to me." Cleanliness was his obsession. He did not hesitate to clean horrifying insanitary condition of camps or public places with broom and bucket in hand. He loved to call himself a bhangi (a scavenger). It was no attention-grabber. It had nothing to do with the promotion of his political career as his mission cleanliness started more than three decades before he joined politics. Initiation to sanitation came to him as a natural corollary quite consistent with the basic philosophy of his life. His contemplation of ecological cleanliness with a scientific bent of mind so early was amazing. The world picked up the issue long after him. The inimitability of his approach was that he did not preach with others to do what he himself did not do. "

A highly original, stirring book on Mahatma Gandhi that deepens our sense of his achievements and disappointments—his success in seizing India’s imagination and shaping its independence struggle as a mass movement, his recognition late in life that few of his followers paid more than lip service to his ambitious goals of social justice for the country’s minorities, outcasts, and rural poor. “A revelation. . . . Lelyveld has restored human depth to the Mahatma.”—Hari Kunzru, The New York Times Pulitzer Prize–winner Joseph Lelyveld shows in vivid, unmatched detail how Gandhi’s sense of mission, social values, and philosophy of nonviolent resistance were shaped on another subcontinent—during two decades in South Africa—and then tested by an India that quickly learned to revere him as a Mahatma, or “Great Soul,” while following him only a small part of the way to the social transformation he envisioned. The man himself emerges as one of history’s most remarkable self-creations, a prosperous lawyer who became an ascetic in a loincloth wholly dedicated to political and social action. Lelyveld leads us step-by-step through the heroic—and tragic—last months of this selfless leader’s long campaign when his nonviolent efforts culminated in the partition of India, the creation of Pakistan, and a bloodbath of ethnic cleansing that ended only with his own assassination. India and its politicians were ready to place Gandhi on a pedestal as “Father of the Nation” but were less inclined to embrace his teachings. Muslim support, crucial in his rise to leadership, soon waned, and the oppressed untouchables—for whom Gandhi spoke to Hindus as a whole—produced their own leaders. Here is a vital, brilliant reconsideration of Gandhi’s extraordinary struggles on two continents, of his fierce but, finally, unfulfilled hopes, and of his ever-evolving legacy, which more than six decades after his death still ensures his place as India’s social conscience—and not just India’s.
