Mahatma Gandhi: A Biography
Nanda, B. R. Mahatma Gandhi: A Biography. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1958.
Why this matters here
B. R. Nanda’s Mahatma Gandhi: A Biography supplies chronology for the 1930 Salt March—Gandhi’s departure from Sabarmati with selected companions, the long walk to Dandi, and the campaign’s public discipline around salt and nonviolence. When Others Become Leaders uses that march to show politics made visible through bodies occupying distance together. Nanda’s biography anchors the sequence; the book asks how influence begins when resistance refuses to organize on the same logic as the power it opposes.
