"The great soul in beggar's" garb is how RabindraNath Tagore addressed Gandhi,
one of history's greatest figures. The paradox -that neither Gandhi's philosophy
nor his role as a politician evokes asmuch interest as the simple incidents of
his life - continues to persist. Gandhias a man remains the subject of an
abiding interest to the common people becausehe personally symbolised those
eternal values that make human life worth living. Gandhi: The Man Among Men
seeks to present the Mahatma's philosophy through the ordinaryevents of life. It
tells in a readable style the various aspects of his lifewhich amply unfold
Gandhi's philosophy in action.
