Gandhi & Gandhism

Extract:

“Mr. Gandhi returned to India in 1915. Did he then take up the cause of the Untouchables? …….. The problem was how to make it a government by the people in a country rent into communities, majorities and minorities, who are charged not merely with social cleavages but also with social antagonisms. Having regard to these circumstances it was agreed that in India there was no possibility of government by the people unless Legislature and the Executive were framed on the basis of communal representation.”
