For a World of Peace and Nonviolence !

Dear Reader,

As it is very inspiring to learn about the various activities remembering and promoting Gandhi's life and works allover, we introduce with this newsletter the "Gandhian News from Around the World". Please keep sending us your feedback so that we can steadily improve our newsletter. Thank you!

New on Website: Gandhi's Diary of 1916/17 !
With great care we scanned the fragile original personal diary of Mahatma Gandhi of the year 1916/17. Now it is fully displayed in our Online Image Archive (Documents > Gandhis Diary > 1916-17). The diary covers the period between October 27, 1916 and November 14, 1917. It includes Gandhi's first satyagraha campaign in India in favour of the indigo farmers in Bihar. Gandhi's daily notes - in Gujarati - are brief and legible. We would appreciate the help of a volunteer to translate the diary into English.
