"I have an impression that the bulk of the readers of [this] book will be students.... [And] let me make it clear that I lay no more claim to scholarship than does Gandhiji, but I am myself a student—as I hope to remain until my dying day—and it is out of sympathy for the needs of the people of my kind that I have presumed to introduce this additional matter."
--Mahadev Desai, Gandhi's biographer, personal secretary, and father of Narayan, concerning his own introduction and this translation into English of Gandhi's Gujarati version.
