GANDHI | PORBANDAR TO PARTITION | INDIAN REVOLUTIONARY | BIOGRAPHY OF MAHATMA GANDHI IN ENGLISH | INDIAN HISTORY | INDIAN INDEPENDENCE 1947 | SWADESHI MOVEMENT INDIA | SATYAGRAHA | MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI [Paperback] DILIP DATTA Paperback – 1 January 2020

"Gandhi: Porbandar to Partition", written by my sir, Dr. Dilip Datta, is a different type of book, where all the important aspects of Gandhi's life has been portrayed nicely. The way writer has explained is very reader friendly and the book will surely enrich anyone's knowledge about Gandhi as a human being, a common man. I, personally, am really very glad to have a book like this where the introspection of Gandhi has been described pleasingly. The book also identifies the turning points in Gandhi's life, specially the flame burning within him through which Gandhi had made a mark in the history of India's freedom movement and finally he realized that the day of independence was not of victory, but of mourning, disillusionment and despair and he remarked with deep bitterness : "It is I who am to be blamed. There has been some flaw somewhere in my ahimsa."I will definitely recommend all to have the book and enjoy author's analysis on Gandhi's life.

Very well researched and unbiased view of the Mahatma. Covers not just his personal or political journey but other hitherto less known aspects of the human side which many writers may have been unwilling to touch upon so candidly. Instead of blind hero-worship or lop-sided criticism, the writer helps one to realise why, despite his flaws and failures, Gandhi is the father of the nation in the true sense.

This was a very interesting read. The book is well researched and covers all aspects of the Mahatma's life well. It was a good read for the children too.

A very well researched and written book giving an unbiased view of Gandhi both political and personal.
