EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Mahatma Gandhi alongside his secretary Schlesin and three colleagues in Johannesburg, South Africa, back in 1901. The image exudes an air of importance and power as these influential figures gather together. Mahatma Gandhi, known for his role as a political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement, sits confidently at the center of the composition. Dressed in a Western suit with crossed hands resting on his lap, he emanates wisdom and determination. His iconic moustache adds to his distinguished appearance. Seated beside him is his dedicated secretary Schlesin, whose presence symbolizes trust and support. Three other colleagues stand behind them; their identities remain unknown but their serious expressions suggest that they are equally committed to their cause. The portrait showcases not only the diversity within this group but also highlights their shared goal: fighting for India's freedom from British rule through non-violent means. Their attire reflects both traditional Indian clothing and Western influences, representing the fusion of cultures that shaped Gandhi's philosophy. Taken by an English photographer during the early 20th century, this historic image now resides within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Preserved by Archives Charmet, it serves as a reminder of Gandhi's enduring legacy as well as the global impact he made during his lifetime.
