Written by Subhadra Sen Gupta; Narrated by Rohini Vij
He was the most unusual leader this country has seen, and one of the most influential personalities whose name is synonymous with India’s independence. Through a vivid narrative, author Subhadra Sen Gupta recreates the life and legacy of this phenomenal leader to portray the man beneath the simple hand spun clothes, who ate salt-less vegetables and bitter neem chutney; who greeted kings and paupers alike; who walked 240 miles at the age of 60 to break the Salt Law; and whose entire life was dedicated to truth and to peace.
