Mohandas Gandhi


Primary Sources

Books:

1. Andrews, Charles. Mahatma Gandhi- His Life & Ideas. Mumbai: Jaico Publishing House, 2005.


This book offers insight into Gandhi’s morals and values. It covers a brief biography of his life, and was written by one of his close friends. This came in handy since sources written by close friends or relatives tend to be more accurate. At the front of the biography, there is a foreword from Gandhi’s grandson which we found highly useful. This book was written with a great amount of detail and specified as much as possible about Gandhi's adventures.

 

         2. Asby, Lillian. My India. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1937.

         Lillian Asby was an English woman living in India through the early 1900s. Through the last years of her life, she wrote down her autobiography in a novel that was not published widely. We were able to borrow Asby's very own copy from her grandson. It is an excellent primary source, as it describes the environment and situation in India at the time. Though the chapter on Gandhi was brief, there were very well written sections that evolved into quotes on our website.



3. Gandhi, Mohandas. My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography. Mumbai: Jaico Publishing House, 2008.

 

An autobiography written by Gandhi himself and translated by Mahadev Desai, this book turned out to be an excellent primary source. Rich in detail and flawless in accuracy, Gandhi’s self-written story covered every tiny detail of his life and contributed the most information to our project. We found there was no better way to acquire information about a specific person than using that person's writings. It enlightens the reader by telling his stories in his perspective and his opinions on each matter. This book proved that it was the most valuable of our primary sources.



Documents:

              1. Sheean, Vincent. "Death of the Mahatma." (1948).

              Vincent Sheean was an American reporter who was a disciple of Gandhi. When Gandhi was shot at Birla House in 1948, Sheean witnessed the whole event and wrote a report on it. We used this primary source document to better understand the events occurring around and at the time of Gandhi's murder. By using this eyewitness account as a start off point, we were able to find other sources to write about the death of Gandhi in our project. "Death of the Mahatma" is indeed a precious source built around the final actions of a great man.

              2. Einstein, Albert. Letter to Mohandas Gandhi. 29 Oct. 1932. <http://www.gandhiserve.org/streams/einstein.html>

               By 1932, Gandhi's work in India became common knowledge to much of the world. Albert Einstein, a famous physicist, was an example of a person who lived far away, but had still heard of Gandhi's work. When Einstein learned of the great man's deeds, he wrote him a letter that complimented his methods, ideals, and principles. Gandhi wrote back to him, and both letters were scanned onto this website for public use. We found this to be extremely useful, because it was an invaluable primary source letter. In addition, it proved Gandhi's international legacy which was alive even when he was living.


Images:

             1. Founders of the Natal Indian Congress, 1895. Digital image. MKGandhi. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.mkgandhi.org/gphotgallery/1869-1914/pages/h.htm>.

              The Mahatma Gandhi Photo Gallery was filled with photos that correctly portrayed some of the events that were involved in Gandhi's life. This particular image showed the founders of the Natal Indian Congress in 1895. Gandhi not only was a part of it, but suggested the name "Natal Indian Congress". We used this picture to help express how important his contributions were in the congress. This image is one we found appropriate to place in our presentation.

              2. Gandhi as a Child. Digital image. Gandhi and Children. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.ruraluniv.ac.in/Gandhi%20as%20a%20child.JPG>.

              We found this website to be slightly more reliable when it comes to finding pictures pertaining to Gandhi since the entire site is based off of him. The photo that it supplied us with showed Gandhi when he was just a young boy. There were numerous sites with this same exact picture, but we favored this one because it was larger and had greater quality. This photo is important because it portrayed Gandhi before he grew older and wiser. The use of this illustration assisted us in the completion of our presentation.

              3. Gandhi as Lawyer. Digital image. Gandhi and Children. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.ruraluniv.ac.in/Gandhi%20as%20Lawyer.JPG>.

              This particular website has been used several times to find the proper portraits to portray MK Gandhi at specific moments in his life. Gandhi is depicted in this picture as a young man and a lawyer. This snapshot gives the view an visual on what he looked like during young adulthood. It is important to know what Gandhi looked like at this point of his life since it was around that age when the most exciting events in his life began to occur. This site was an extremely reliable source that supplied us with many pictures of Gandhi at different times in his life.

              4. Gandhi with Jinnah. Digital image. Gandhi and Children. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.ruraluniv.ac.in/Gandhi%20with%20Jinnah.JPG>.

              This website, once again, proved its worth as a major part of our presentation by providing us with this photograph. This time, the site displayed a illustration of MK Gandhi with Moslem leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah. We used this picture because it was greatly complimented the content we wrote concerning the struggle for Indian Independence. The photo shows Gandhi and Jinnah, looking like they are getting along despite their different views on independence. This site had given us some great photos that may be one of the most essential parts of our presentation. 

              5. Mohandas Gandhi Time 30 June 1947. Digital Image. 2008. 2 Jan. 2009 <http://www.whoswho.com/topic/7908/mohandas-gandhi-time-magazine-30-june-1947.htm>.

              TIME Magazine is one of the most popular and influential magazines in the United States. Being featured on a cover is a great honor for any person to have. Having one's face displayed on the cover three times truly means that person has achieved much in their life. Gandhi is one such person who has been portrayed on the cover of TIME Magazine three times, and this particular magazine happened to be released during his lifetime. It was a reminder that Gandhi's actions were well known at the time, and his legacy began well before his death occurred.

              6. Salt March (1930). Digital image. Mahatma Gandhi - A Great Soul. 2006. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.gandhimemorial.org/gandhi%20pic/salt%20march.jpg>.

              Gandhi Memorial is responsible for the image that we used in describing the Salt March event. The photo displays Gandhi and others involved in the Salt March walking in protest to the British Salt Tax. This picture shows the importance of Gandhi's participation in this protest, as he was the one who proposed the idea. His excellent leadership skills are accurately portrayed in this snapshot. This photograph is one of the most important shown in our site because of its ability to depict the significance of this event.

              7. Satyagraha Ashram at Kochrab, Ahmedabad, founded May 25, 1915. Digital image. MKGandhi. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.mkgandhi.org/gphotgallery/1915-1932/pages/a7.htm>.

              Although this site did not provide a crystal clear image of what we wanted, it was the best that we could find. The image that is shown on this page is the Satyagraha Ashram in Kochrab. Though the illustration did not present the greatest quality, it still gives the viewer an idea of what the building looks like. This photo is important to display since Gandhi himself had founded Satyagraha Ashram. Overall, this site was an appropriate source that we felt needed to be included in our project.

              8. White, Margaret B. Gandhi. Digital image. Margaret Bourke-White Gandhi Gallery M. Time, Inc. 25 Dec. 2008 <http://www.gallerym.com/work.cfm?ID=91>.

               We found numerous versions of this same picture, but we chose to use White's version. Out of the many photos of Gandhi and the spinning wheel, White seemed to capture the scene best. The picture shows the viewer how important Gandhi is to the invention of the wheel, and how the spinning wheel was an important invention to Gandhi. We chose to use this to illustrate the value of spinning wheel and how it affected people everywhere. White's image was definitely worth including in our presentation, as it contributed to a greater outcome.

 

Interviews:

               1. Rao, Surya Prakash. Personal Interview. 21 October. 2008

                Born in 1921, Mr. Surya Prakash Rao lived during the time that Gandhi's work had an impact on India. Mr. Rao had seen Gandhi in action, and immediately became a follower of his principles. After Gandhi's death, Mr. Rao studied his actions and legacy, and even allowed us to borrow one of the original autobiographies of Gandhi--complete with his notations in it. One of us traveled to India in October, and had a chance to interview him about Gandhi's deeds and his effects on the world. Mr. Rao proved to be an extremely knowledgeable source, and we are thankful he spared enough time to provide us with an interview.


Speeches:

              1. Gandhi, Mohandas. "Speech to the All-India Congress, 1942." Pearson Prentice Hall: Primary Sources. Pearson Prentice Hall. 5 Nov 2008 <http://www.phschool.com/atschool/primary_sources/all-india_congress_speech.html>.

               This site proved its use in our presentation because of its facts and specifics it provided on the speech to the All-India Congress in 1942. It covered a brief speech made by Gandhi to the Indian Congress in 1942. This web document was another primary source used in our web site, despite its limited usage. However, the content of the speech emphasized the virtues and ethics that Gandhi abided by during his lifetime. Although concise, this speech presented solid information that we found useful in our website.

               2. Nehru, Jawaharlal. "The Light has Gone Out." All India Radio. 30 January 1948.

               Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister of India and a close friend of Gandhi's. Although they disagreed on many political aspects, Nehru had a very high level of respect for Gandhi. On the day Gandhi died, Nehru made a speech on the radio that praised Gandhi and explained how his actions and legacies would always have their mark on India and the world. We used an excerpt of this speech on the website to wrap up the greatness of Gandhi's work. In addition, the speech proved as a great conclusion of his action, and a reminder that Gandhi's legacy would not be forgotten. 



Secondary Sources

Books:

              1. Cheney, Glenn Alan. Mohandas Gandhi. New York: Franklin Watts, 1983.

              Packed with detailed information and photographs, Cheney's biography of Gandhi is very thorough. Hardly any aspect of his life was left uncovered. Because Cheney's biography was very detailed, were able to select a variety of quotes to use in the course of our website. The information itself was easy to comprehend, so the book helped us understand many points in Gandhi's life. His actions were covered fully, and the reason he is important today was stressed.

              2. Demi, Gandhi. New York City: Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2001.

              Demi’s picture book, highlighting the major events of Gandhi’s life, proved to be a suitable visual reference throughout our project. It expressed the actions in his life with simplicity, and the pictures made it all the more easier to comprehend. Although brief, it provided solid information and accurate facts. It was not detailed, but it included the main events that occurred in Gandhi's lifetime. We found this picture book to be one of the most resourceful secondary book sources used in our presentation.

              3. Rawding, F.W.. Gandhi and the Struggle for India's Independence. Minneapolis: Lerner Publications Company, 1982.

              Another thorough biography, Rawding's work was an invaluable source in our collection. Besides the endless amount of information it contained, there was a vast amount of diagrams included as well. These included photographs, charts, diary entries, schedules, newspaper cuttings, maps,  and more. We were able to find some of the diagrams present in the book online and place them on the website, and weave some of the quotes from the book into our website. Gandhi and the Struggle for Independence is a great book that explains his actions and legacies  through clever use of words and charts.

              4. Spink, Kathryn. Gandhi. London: Hamish Hamilton Children's Books, 1984.

              Kathryn Spink is an intelligent historian, and her biography on Mohandas Gandhi shows that. Her book is in chronological and cause-and-effect order, ensuring the reader's comprehension. Many of our quotes originated from Gandhi, as well as our format of writing. Spink's book only had a few pictures every now and then in order to conserve space for information, and we strived to use our pictures in a similar fashion. Through writing style, picture placement, and information, Spink produced an excellent biography that provided much aid to us in our project.



Images:

 

             1. England. Map. Maryland: University of Marlyand, 2008. 22 Dec. 2008 <http://www.international.umd.edu/sparkplug/common/images/studyabroad/england_map.gif>.          

              This map was an accurate representation of England, and it included all its major cities--such as the capital, London. When Gandhi was a young man, he traveled to London to study law. We felt that the reader would understand the course of his life better if the map was placed on the site. Since India was the location where most of Gandhi's work took place, a map of England would help others learn about  other areas that Gandhi visited. England was a crucial country where many of Gandhi's actions occurred, and where his legacy still lives on today.         

              2. Natal. Map. Kwazulu. Stay in South Africa. 21 Dec. 2008 <http://www.stayinsa.co.za/southafrica-maps/Natal-map.gif>  

              As a young man, Gandhi traveled to South Africa to pursue a career in law. When he arrived, he witnessed how the Indians in Natal were being subjected to extreme racism. For over 20 years, he worked in Natal to bring equality to all people. Natal was an essential location in Gandhi's life, and we felt it was not a location that could be overlooked. Therefore, we decided it would be appropriate to place a map of Natal--a place where so many events in Gandhi's life occurred and where his work still has its effects today.

               3. Pang, Sneha. Photograph. Pacific Palisades. Mahatma Gandhi World Peace Memorial. 14 Feb. 2009.

               While working on our project, we had the pleasure of visiting the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in Pacific Palisades, California. This temple was created by a Guru named Yogananda, and is a peaceful location with quiet surroundings and harmonious wild life. In the temple, there is a memorial created for the sole purpose of honoring the actions of Gandhi. In addition, it even includes a small portion of Gandhi's ashes--a great honor for the temple. We felt such a staggering reminder of Gandhi's legacy in the world today was necessary to include in our project, so we photographed it and posted it on our site.


Interviews:

               1. Chanduri, Murali. Personal Interview. 3 Jan. 2009.

               Mr. Chanduri is the president of TELSA, a non-profit organization that holds many events--such as marches and concerts--to raise awareness of village conditions in India. TELSA's methods are peaceful--much like Gandhi's. Not surprisingly, Mr. Chanduri held much knowledge about Gandhi's actions and legacies. We were able to conduct an interview with him, and his words helped us construct much of our legacy. We were extremely thankful that he could share his time and knowledge with us. 


Multimedia

              1. "Gandhi: Pilgrim of Peace". Biography. History Channel. A & E Network, Manhattan. 2005.

              Biography is a show featuring documentaries that appear weekly on the History Channel. One of these documentaries was made in 2005 about Gandhi. It was a little less than an hour long, but we were able to choose a single clip that fit in the multimedia time limit allotted to us. This clip perfectly summed up the importance of Gandhi in the world, and how his work still has its impact today. The whole documentary was very well done and enthralling, and we felt the clip we featured represents the efficiency of it.

Liukkonen's biography on the life of Mahatma Gandhi was indeed a source we found worthy to use in our own website. Using a seemingly endless amount of resources, this site not only told the story of Gandhi's life, but also how people reacted to his actions using critisism. We found Liukkonen's article to be reliable due to the fact that it was made very unbiased by including several perspectives on whether Gandhi's intentions were contributed towards goodness or badness. It did not drift off into a different subject whatsoever, which made it easier for us to stick to our topic. Not only did this website give us all of the necessary information, but it informed us of other sources that may be useful towards our presentation.

 

19. "Mahatma Ghandi Album." Kamat. 7 Sept. 2008. 3 Nov. 2008 <http://kamat.com/mmgandhi/gandhi.htm>.


We used this web site to gather more information on the particulars of Gandhi’s childhood and early years of adulthood. A more political view of India and Britain was presented in this biography, and it added much perspective to our understanding of his life. In addition, there were many links featured on the site which ensured a thorough understanding of the elements involved. The table of contents, found on the side of the page, was a great help to us because it organized the information we needed. 

 

20. "Mohandas Gandhi (1869 - 1948)." BBC - History. BBC. 5 Nov 2008 <http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/gandhi_mohandas.shtml>.

We found BBC's historical article on the life of Gandhi to be an extremely accurate and useful source of information. Stressing the most essential events occurring in Gandhi’s lifetime, this site narrowed down the events used in our timeline. It offered reliable information without bombarding the reader with useless information. The core and basic analysis of his life were easy to add in to our project. Although it was not the longest article on Gandhi's life, it still proved to be a reliable and helpful site for our use.

            This biography on Gandhi was set up in a way in which it was made easy to read and very comprehensible. This prolonged piece told the story of Gandhi's life in a brief timeline, then again in paragraph form. We found this format to be simple yet effective in the production of our presentation. It described the most significant of Gandhi's actions in detail, and it covered a broad range of incidents that affected him throughout his lifetime.

This site pertained to Mohandas Gandhi and the occurrences he had to suffer during his lifetime. It was a handy biography that proved its worth by offering a selection of quotes that we scattered throughout our site. With precision, all of Gandhi's great deeds were included in the beginning of the site. The later portion of it assisted us in completing the effects Gandhi had on today's world. All in all, this was a valuable source indeed.  


23. Narayan, R.K.. "The Quit India Movement." The Quit India Movement. 23 Dec 2008 <http://members.tripod.com/~IndiaProject/quit.html>.

 

The Quit India Movement was started by Gandhi and other national leaders in an attempt to drive the British out of their land. Narayan created a wonderful article that was able to explain the detailed facts that occurred during this event, despite its briefness. The Quit India Movement was an ideal representation of Gandhi's non-violent methods, and this site went over it with stunning accuracy. Narayan's work covered the events that occurred during the nation-wide motion, and described how it set a precedent for other movements all over the globe. Despite the shortness of this article, it still managed to provide us with enough information to become a help in creating our project.


24. Rida, Sarah. "Welcome to the Peaceful World of Gandhi." Welcome to the Peaceful World of Gandhi. 9 Dec 2008 <http://ridasarah.tripod.com/index.html>.


Rida's website on Gandhi was not only filled with data on Gandhi's life, but also included an accurate timeline, which we found to be a great use in our presentation. The entire site was devoted to MK Gandhi and how his contributions changed society. We found Rida's information to be of great use in creating our website since our topic is similar to her site. We found most use of the timeline, which we were fond enough of to create its own page for it in our presentation. "Welcome to the Peaceful World of Gandhi" was one of the most essential sources that we used because of its well planned out timeline.

It was a well organized biography with several sections that arranged Gandhi's life by the major events that took place. This site's information came in handy as several quotes that we managed to squeeze into our website. It taught the importance of Gandhi's teachings of peace and non-violence and what could be accomplished by them. Although the site was extremely thorough, the data it provided came to great use in making our presentation.

Some facts were put into bullet form, which made it much easier to pick out what parts of his life were more important than the others. Not only did the data given to us on the page come to use, but the site also included suggestions for other reliable sources on Gandhi.
