1).Indian lawyer, activist and statesman Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
2) Gandhi, at Dandi beach , during the salt satyagraha in April 1930
3) when Gandhi takes part in the indian constitutional Second Round table conference in London ,1931
4) Here Gandhi is standing on a weighing scale at the Birla House in Bombay (what is now Mumbai) in 1945.
5) Here, gandhi is seen in front of his office hut at Sevagram ashram in 1940. A pillow covers his head as protection against the severe heat.
6) Here's his image of a van carrying Gandhi being pushed by Pathans and Congress workers over some rough terrain in the North West Frontier Provinces in October 1938.
7) This is a picture of Gandhi, and his wife Kasturba, in Abottabad in November, 1938
8) Gandhi and his wife Kasturba are seen here at a wedding of a Christian man and an untouchable woman in Sevagram ashram, 1940.
9) Sanjeev Saith says the picture of a dying Kasturba Gandhi lying on a bed at the Aga Khan Palace in Pune in 1944 a few months before her death counts among his favourites. A broken shaft of light is streaming in through a window behind her.
"Here is this austere woman lying regally on this stately bed, she is about to die. This picture just shakes me up," he says
10) And then there is this historic 1938 picture of Gandhi in a convivial mood with freedom hero and radical nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose. In the background, Kasturba Gandhi is drawing her sari, and looking into the distance.
This was the high noon of Bose's political life: he had been elected as president of the Congress party. Gandhi had overruled objections from independence hero Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who had objected to Bose's appointment.
The two leaders had shared a complex relationship and fell out later over differences.
11) Here's Gandhi and Nobel Prize-winning poet Rabindranath Tagore in Shantiniketan, West Bengal, in February 1940, a study of two great men in meditation.
"Look at the bottom of the picture. It is an accidental double exposure [a technique which combined two different images into a single image]. It's rather inventive.
12) one such moment was when Kasturba, lay dying in his lap at the Aga Khan Palace in Pune.
The nephew, however, was allowed to shoot this image of the leader, draped in a shawl, looking at Kasturba after she passed away in February 1944.
According to several accounts, Gandhi kept a vigil for hours, sitting by her side, praying.
"After sixty years of constant companionship," he said later that night. "I cannot imagine life without her."
13) There's a series of pictures of Gandhi collecting donations for a fund for the untouchables during a three-month long train journey that took him to Bengal, Assam and southern India in 1945-46.
In some he's stretching his arm from a carriage for money; in others he's surrounded by people and collecting the money in a slender basket.
"He's an old man, but he looks agile. He's almost begging for alms, and he's serious about picking up every bit of money for a good cause
14) And then .. 😢
