Gandhi Expects

by Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhiji's fundamental principle of the governance of India was that those responsible for it had always to bear in mind that they had to run the government of a poor country and primarily in the interest of the poor and backward classes of India. How that could be done was propounded by him ever since he returned to India in 1915. When, therefore, Congressmen went into power in 1937 and afterwards he brought to their notice the responsibility that they had undertaken.

This is a collection of his articles and speeches dealing with the various duties that devolved upon Congressmen and others as administrators and rulers.
