Gandhi, Churchill and the End of the Raj.
In their lust for power, Stalin and Hitler killed millions. But Gandhi, small and shy, relieved Britain of the crown jewel in its empire without even firing a pop gun.
How did he do it? What can we make of his legacy today? And why was Winston Churchill, so effective as a war leader, impotent to stop him?
I became fascinated with Gandhi while working in Delhi as the Independent’s South Asia correspondent. He is a major character in my acclaimed novel India Be Damned, set at the time of independence.
Peter’s book will be on sale afterwards.
Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening.
There will be time for questions and comments and we will begin, as always, with the opportunity to meditate.
