#GandhiJayanti | If #MahatmaGandhi’s writings matter to us today, the writer in him should matter more, especially for humanist scholars. He was one of the most prolific writers of all time. But what did writing mean to him? | N.S. Gundur writes. trib.al/mC2lZtZ
#GandhiJayanti | #MahatmaGandhi’s silence on the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suggests how he transformed a tragedy into spiritual action. | Rajeev Kadambi writes. trib.al/U5V6Hq0
