Additional Details

first edition, one of 5000 copies. Published the year after his assassination, this comprehensive work comprises 525 articles, speeches, and reports written by Gandhi on the topic of Hindu-Muslim relations over the course of 30 years, including pieces from his earliest public activities in India. Among the titles are "Hindu Muslim Unity," "What May Hindus Do," "An Appeal for Self-Examination," "We Are All Brothers," and "God Is One." The entries are for the most part arranged in chronological order, and thus provide consummate insight into the development of Gandhi's thinking, approaches, and writing on one of the most fraught issues roiling colonial India over an extended period of time.
