Divided into fourteen parts, The Oxford India Gandhi seeks to redeem Gandhi from the plaster-cast image of the Mahatma. Edited by Gopalkrishna Gandhi, the Governor of West Bengal and the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, it is Gandhis essential story as expressed in speeches, articles, diary entries, letters and, most importantly, in conversations. This volume deviates from the other works on the Mahatma in its portrayal of the human side of Gandhi rather than attemptingto iconize him.
