Description

Gandhi, third class by choice, two and a half years of Indian trains — Lahore, Tranquebar, Karachi, Calcutta — watching how the poorest passengers are carried. The Big Nest ebook of a citizen’s report: defects, letters to management, the politics of a bench. Not a memoir of scenery. Hygiene, crowding, a nation’s arteries. English of a famous inconvenience, used as evidence. Travel as inspection. The Mahatma counting what a ticket actually buys. A citizen counting what a third-class ticket actually buys.

Author

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948), known worldwide as Mahatma Gandhi, was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial leader, and advocate of nonviolent resistance. He led the campaign for India's independence from British rule and inspired civil-rights movements across the world. His writings on self-reliance, health, and public life reflect the same moral discipline as his political work.
