"தமிழில்: சிவசக்தி சரவணண் அதிகாரபூர்வமான அரசுப் பதவி எதையும் வகித்ததில்லை. ஆயுதம் எதையும் தரித்ததில்லை. பண பலம், படை பலம் இரண்டும் இல்லை. இருந்தும் அந்த மெலிந்த, எளிமையான இளம் வழக்கறிஞரின் பின்னால் ஒரு தேசமே அணிதிரண்டு நின்றது. காந்தி தன்னைக் கண்டறிந்தது தென்னாப்பிரிக்காவில். பிற்-காலத்-தில் வெற்றிகரமாக அவர் பிரயோகித்த போராட்ட வழிமுறையை அவர் தென்னாப்பிரிக்காவில்தான் கண்டறிந்து, கூர்தீட்டிக்கொண்டார். காந்தியின் அரசியல் சிந்தனைகள், மதம் பற்றிய பார்வை, அறம் சார்ந்த விழுமியங்கள் என அனைத்துக்குமான அடிப்படைகள் தென்னாப்பிரிக்காவில் உருப்பெற்றுவிட்டன. காந்தி குறித்து இதுவரை வெளிவந்துள்ள நூல்கள் அனைத்-திலுமிருந்து குஹாவின் இந்தப் புத்தகம் மாறுபடுகிறது. இந்தியா, இங்கிலாந்து, தென்னாப்பிரிக்கா முதலான நாடுகளில் உள்ள ஆவணக் காப்பகங்களிலிருந்து பல புதிய ஆதாரங்களைத் திரட்டி மிக விரிவான ஒரு தளத்தில் ஒருங்கிணைத்து இந்நூல் எழுதப்பட்டுள்ளது. பிரிட்டிஷ் சாம்ராஜ்ஜியத்துக்கு எதிராக காந்தி பிற்காலத்தில் தொடுத்த போருக்கான ஆதாரப்புள்ளி தென்னாப்பிரிக்காதான் என்பதை ராமச்சந்திர குஹா அசாதாரணமான முறையில் இதில் நிறுவியுள்ளார். காந்தியின் அரசியல் வாழ்வோடு அதிகம் அறியப்படாத அவருடைய தனிப்பட்ட வாழ்வும் பிரம்மாண்டமாக விவரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. காந்தியின் தொகுக்கப்பட்ட படைப்புகளில் இல்லாத பல அரிய தகவல்களும் இந்நூலில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளன. உலகம் முழுவதிலுமிருந்து பாராட்டுகளைப் பெற்றிருக்கும் ராமச்சந்திர குஹாவின் Gandhi Before India நூலின் அதிகாரபூர்வமான தமிழாக்கம் இது."

Book Description
A biography detailing Gandhi’s twenty-year stay in South Africa and his attitudes and behavior in the nation’s political context. In the pantheon of freedom fighters, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has pride of place. His fame and influence extend far beyond India and are nowhere more significant than in South Africa. “India gave us a Mohandas, we gave them a Mahatma,” goes a popular South African refrain. Contemporary South African leaders, including Mandela, have consistently lauded him as being part of the epic battle to defeat the racist white regime. The South African Gandhi focuses on Gandhi’s first leadership experiences and the complicated man they reveal—a man who actually supported the British Empire. Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed unveil a man who, throughout his stay on African soil, stayed true to Empire while showing a disdain for Africans. For Gandhi, whites and Indians were bonded by an Aryan bloodline that had no place for the African. Gandhi’s racism was matched by his class prejudice towards the Indian indentured. He persistently claimed that they were ignorant and needed his leadership, and he wrote their resistances and compromises in surviving a brutal labor regime out of history. The South African Gandhi writes the indentured and working class back into history. The authors show that Gandhi never missed an opportunity to show his loyalty to Empire, with a particular penchant for war as a means to do so. He served as an Empire stretcher-bearer in the Boer War while the British occupied South Africa, he demanded guns in the aftermath of the Bhambatha Rebellion, and he toured the villages of India during the First World War as recruiter for the Imperial army. This meticulously researched book punctures the dominant narrative of Gandhi and uncovers an ambiguous figure whose time on African soil was marked by a desire to seek the integration of Indians, minus many basic rights, into the white body politic while simultaneously excluding Africans from his moral compass and political ideals. Praise for The South African Gandhi “In this impressively researched study, two South African scholars of Indian background bravely challenge political myth-making on both sides of the Indian Ocean that has sought to canonize Gandhi as a founding father of the struggle for equality there. They show that the Mahatma-to-be carefully refrained from calling on his followers to throw in their lot with the black majority. The mass struggle he finally led remained an Indian struggle.” —Joseph Lelyveld, author of Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India “This is a wonderful demonstration of meticulously researched, evocative, clear-eyed and fearless history writing. It uncovers a story, some might even call it a scandal, that has remained hidden in plain sight for far too long. The South African Gandhi is a big book. It is a serious challenge to the way we have been taught to think about Gandhi.” —Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things

Book Description
Gandhi, an inspiration and a despair to all who approached him, has been subjected to MORE analysis than any other person in contemporary history. And yet something is missing in the puzzle that Gandhi was and is. This volume is one more attempt 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 South Africa. This by no means is an easy task. Gandhi was a complex personality. Moreover, as a continuously evolving phenomenon, he 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. Also, Gandhi has 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 with a few pieces of demonology too. Gandhi is too valuable a piece of humanity to be lost to history. We must strive to brush off the cobwebs gathering around him and portray him as the simple yet stupendous figure he was.

Book Description
In these delightfully candid musings about his life and his cinema, RGV reveals the man behind pioneering Telugu and Hindi films such as Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Sarkar, Bhoot and Company. Discussing a wide range of subjects, from the influences and circumstances that drew him to films to his cinematic techniques, his successful and unsuccessful films, his Bollywood idols, his relations with the media and the controversies dogging him, Guns & Thighs is as much about RGV's life and philosophy of life as about his films and the Indian film world. Characteristically, he pulls no punches, whether he's talking about movies, women or the media. Even when it comes to his own films, he embraces his failures as much his successes and dissects them with rare honesty and humility. Refreshingly contrarian and politically incorrect, this book discloses a perspective as colourful and larger than life as Indian films. It is not for RGV fans alone but for all those passionate about cinema and the people associated with it.
