Manilal Gandhi was the second of Gandhi's four sons. Born in India, he spent a crucial part of his childhood and adolescence in South Africa. Based on hundreds of letters between Gandhi and his four sons, this book seeks a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between father and sons. It analyses the extent to which Manilal was bound by his father in crucial matters of his life and the consequences of this. Drawing on Manilal's unpublished letters to family and friends, a careful reading of the newspaper he edited, as well as interviews with the extended Gandhi family, this book provides an untold history after Gandhi left South Africa.
