Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
The caption on the back of this photograph, taken during George Congerís
visit to India in the 1930s, reads:
Mr. Gandhi, speaking at the first public meeting of his tour of India
on behalf of the untouchables. Seated in front of the daïs, at the
left, are Mrs. Gandhi and one of their grandchildren. In front of the
platform at the right is Seth Jamanlal Bejag, the banker who has been
among his most faithful followers. The man standing at the right, indistinct
in the photograph, is the "loud speaker" (shouting Mr. Gandhi's
speech, sentence by sentence, to the crowd). The inscription overhead
reads: "Hail to Mah
tm
Gandhi. Welcome to All."
