Were there still Indians who believed in his philosophy and methods,
committed to finishing the work he began?
If so, what were they doing now?
I was inspired to seek answers to these questions when, in late 1977 in San
Francisco, I met a modern-day Gandhian named K. Krishnan Nair.
"The Indian revolution has two aspects," Nair told me. "The first phase we
have achieved -- that is, liberating our country from foreign domination.
The second phase is the complete restructuring of our society.
"Until we complete this work, we'll not be sitting quiet."
Nair urged me to come to India to see for myself the current work of the
Gandhians. Taking up this challenge, I traveled to India in October 1978,
to spend the next five months visiting and living with Gandhians, learning
about their projects, their ideas, their lives.
I found that the tradition begun by Gandhi is very much alive. In fact, it
has grown much since Gandhi's time, with new faces, new issues, new ideas,
new techniques, new failures, and new successes. Though in some ways it may
have fallen back from the standard Gandhi set, in other ways it has gone
beyond him.
I offer what I found, in the hope that others too may discover in it
signposts along the road to a more just and peaceful society -- a society
for the welfare of all.
