EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in history as Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), the renowned Indian independence leader, is seen in deep conversation with his secretary, Sonja Schlesin, and his assistant, Hermann Kallenbach, in Natal, South Africa in 1913. At the time, Gandhi was serving as the leader of the South African Indians and fiercely advocating for equal rights for Indians in the British colony. Gandhi's time in South Africa, which spanned from 1893 to 1914, played a significant role in shaping his political philosophy and activism. During this period, he faced discrimination and injustice, fueling his commitment to nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. In this image, Gandhi is depicted in deep thought, with a determined expression on his face, as he listens intently to his companions. Sonja Schlesin, a close confidant and dedicated supporter, sits to his left, her gaze fixed on Gandhi. Hermann Kallenbach, an architect and close friend, sits to his right, his hands folded in thought. The three figures are bathed in soft, natural light, creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the inner circle of one of history's most influential figures, highlighting the pivotal role played by his dedicated companions during his time in South Africa. The trio's intense focus and unwavering commitment to the cause of equality and justice serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of unity and determination in the face of adversity.
