Tushar Gandhi

Tushar Gandhi

Tushar Gandhi is the great-grandson of Kasturba and Mohandas Gandhi, grandson of their second son Manilal and daughter-in-law Sushila, and son of Sunanda and Arun Gandhi. He is founder-president of the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation, president of Lok Seva Trust and director of the Gandhi Research Foundation, Jalgaon.

In 2005, he commemorated the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Dandi Kooch, by organizing re-enactment of the 241-mile-long walk. He walked the entire stretch and was instrumental in getting the prime minister to declare the route from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, India’s historic heritage route.

Tushar currently lives in Mumbai with his wife Sonal and children Vivan and Kasturi.

In The Lost Diary of Kastur, My Ba, the reader gets to hear from Kasturba, in her own words, for the first time. Through day-to-day activities, it provides a peek into what it was like to be married to the ‘Mahatma’. Here was a woman who was witnessing history being made, observing and understanding the process and participating in it, too.

 

Praises for books by Tushar Gandhi:

“This book is a unique labor of love between generations, written by an author from our world and a heroic woman who lived in a previous century. Indeed, it is like a conversation between the two, one that might feel like any old regular one but actually presents the reader a rich window into India’s decade of independence.” – Amazon Reader

“A very well written book .The handwritten journals which were unearthed and translated painstakingly by Tushar is undoubtedly worth a mention.
A beautiful opportunity for all to connect with Ba with a new lens.
A absolute MUST read.” – Amazon Reader
