Question

.

(B) Read the following passage and answer the questions:

a) What did Gandhiji mean to those who were close to him to those who lived with him?

b) Mahadev Desai worked as his Secretary from 1917 for 25 years. This was an important period in Indian

History. Gandhiji was very active in the Independence Movement. Desai kept a diary in which he

recorded important happenings and conversations. The jokes for which Gandhiji was well known and

even what he was delirious during fasts were written down by him. Gandhiji dictated his letters and

articles and Desai kept copies of them. Desai jokingly described Gandhiji as ‘A Slave Hunter’ because he

made him work so hard.

c) Gandhiji shared with him his innermost thoughts. When Gandhiji decided to go on the historic Salt

March, he kept the proposed route a secret but told Mahadev Desai. One day after a meeting at the

Gujarat Club in Ahmedabad, Gandhiji and Desai walked all the way to the Sabarmati Ashram, a distance

of six kilometers. Desai has written about what they discussed during the walk.

d) This diary is an important source of information if you want to know Gandhiji. It has been published as a

book titled ‘Day-to-Day with Gandhiji’. We understand the ideas of Gandhiji through the diary. We read

about the people who came to meet Bapu and what he told them. For example when Gandhiji led the

mill workers’ strike, the Collector of Ahmedabad expressed his admiration of the way in which the strike

was led. He says, “This is the first time in my life when I see a fight between the employers and workers

carried on with so much love and regard for each other.”

e) When Gandhiji was in Calcutta in 1917, he saw Tagore’s play, “The Post Office” and liked it. He said he

was moved by Bengali music and wanted to listen to more of it.

f) In 1942, Gandhiji and Mahadev Desai together were imprisoned in the Aghakhan Palace in Pune. One

morning Desai suddenly took ill and died on Gandhiji’s lap.
