Throughout his long and turbulent career as a political leader, first in South Africa and then in India, Gandhi sought to fulfil his religious aspirations through politics and to reconcile politics with personal religious conviction. Foremost among his private tenets was the belief that he was a world saviour, long prophesied and potentially divine.Penetrating and provocative, Kathryn Tidrick's book draws on neglected material to explore the paradoxes within Gandhi's life and personality. But Gandhi's religion was wildly divergent from anything to have taken root in his native India.
