This book publishes - for the most part, for the first time -
Gandhi's letters to his youngest son, Devadas from 1914, when
father and son were both in South Africa to 1948, when they were
both in Delhi, the capital of free India where within hours of the
last letter Gandhi was assassinated. Gandhi wrote these letters by
day, he wrote them by night, he wrote them from aboard trains,
steamers, both right and left hands being pressed into service to
rest one when tired out. The letters span three decades during
which the writer grew from being a fighter for the rights of
Indians in South Africa to being hailed as Father of the Nation by
millions in India and - opposed by many as well including the man
who felled him by three bullets fired at point blank range on 30
January, 1948. The letters hold his aspirations for his son and for
his nation. They bear great love and they also scorch. And we see
Devadas, the recipient of the letters, move in them from compliant
childhood and youth, to adulthood, questioning and remonstrating
with his father and being just the independent son his father wants
him to be.
