write a letter to your friend in America describing the life of mahatma Gandhi?
Answers
Explanation:
In 1942, Gandhiji called on Britain to withdraw from India in the interests of Allied cause. On July 14, 1942, the Working Committee of the Indian National Congress, meeting in Wardha, adopted a resolution in which it said that frustration in India over the intransigence of Britain as regards freedom of India had given rise to widespread ill-will against Britain and "a growing satisfaction with the success of Japanese arms." It called for a withdrawal of British domination, followed by a provisional government representative of all important sections of the people of India and discussion by it with Britain on future relations and cooperation as allies in the common task of meeting aggression. The Congress, it said, was agreeable to the stationing of allied armed forces in India. "While... the Congress is impatient to achieve the national purpose, it wishes to take no hasty step and wishes to avoid, in so far as is possible, any course of action that might embarrass the United Nations."
The position of Gandhiji and the Congress was misrepresented in the American media, influenced by British propaganda, and the comments were hostile.
Gandhiji wrote a letter to President Roosevelt (reproduced in Section I) and sent the following letter to American friends through the India League in New York.]
