Gandhiji was undoubtedly the most prolific and indefatigable writer among his contemporary world leaders or since then. His complete works spans 50,000 pages and 100 volumes, and apart from the several letters, lectures, informal talks and notes that were written by him, bulk of this material is what he wrote in the various journals and newspapers that he contributed to, if not edited himself. He wrote his first newspaper article at the age of 21 in London and subsequently had been editing one journal or another between 1906 till 1948 2 , contributing every week to the journals and in 3 languages, viz., Hindi, Gujarati and English.

Abstract


Gandhiji was undoubtedly the most prolific and indefatigable writer among his contemporary world leaders or since then. His complete works spans 50,000 pages and 100 volumes, and apart from the several letters, lectures, informal talks and notes that were written by him, bulk of this material is what he wrote in the various journals and newspapers that he contributed to, if not edited himself. He wrote his first newspaper article at the age of 21 in London and subsequently had been editing one journal or another between 1906 till 1948 2 , contributing every week to the journals and in 3 languages, viz., Hindi, Gujarati and English.
