(a) We come to know about Gandhiji through his writings and speeches and that of his contemporaries. Mahatma Gandhi also regularly published in his journal, Harijan letters that other wrote to him. Nehru edited a collection of letters written to him during the national movement and published ‘A Bunch of Old Letters’.

(b) Another vital source is government records for the British kept a close watch on Gandhi’s activities. The letters and reports written by policemen and other officials are now accessible to the public.

(c) Yet another important sources were the contemporary newspapers published in English as well as the vernaculars which tracked Gandhiji’s movements and reported on his activities. They also stated what the common man thought of him.

(d) But newspaper accounts could be prejudiced or biased. This was because they were published by people who had their own political opinions and world views.
