Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee

Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee

Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee was born in Delhi on 24 April 1934 to the youngest son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Devadas, and daughter-in-law, Lakshmi Gandhi. She has dedicated her life to working for Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti. She also works for rural women and children with the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust set up by Mahatma Gandhi.

The granddaughter of both Gandhiji and Rajaji, Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee’s childhood was peopled by freedom fighters and leaders who laid the foundation for an independent India. She is seventy-eight now, but there was a time when, as a sprightly little girl growing up in Delhi in the 1940s, Tara bore witness to World War II, the tumultuous run up to India’s freedom, its tragic partition and Gandhi’s assassination in 1949. At once inspiring and heart-warming, Reflections of an Extraordinary Era is a book of small but priceless memories, and about being shaped by an epochal era in the history of India.

Praise for books by Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee:

“This book embodies conviction, perseverance, honesty, truthfulness and leadership: just as professed by Tara’s son, Vinayak. Thoroughly enjoyed the journey down Tara’s memory lane!” – Amazon Reader
