Grandfather Gandhi is an illustrated memoir by Arun Gandhi. Summary of the Book When Arun Gandhi travels to his grandfather’s village, he feels out of place. He hates the hot, humid air and he resents being there. A young boy pushes him on the soccer field and he feels his blood boil. His last name may be synonymous with nonviolence and peace, but he is still a long way from living up to it. He wonders if he ever will. In this book, Arun Gandhi tries to look back at the past, painting a picture of a man who became more than legend. He writes about the single most moving personality in Indian history, a man who changed everyone he met and everyone who heard of him. He tells the story of a Mahatma, an ascetic, a teacher and the greatest grandfather a child could ever ask for. About the Authors Arun Gandhi is an Indian-American socio-political activist.
