The world knows the saint. This is the story of the man who lived in his shadow.
Forget the statues, the holidays, and the sanitized history. The Mahatma's Shadow is a relentless, unflinching look at Mohandas Gandhi as you've never seen him before: a brilliant strategist, a flawed father, and a moral absolutist whose unwavering principles came at a staggering cost.
From the sun-scorched plains of South Africa, where a young Gandhi fights not for equality but for a higher place in a segregated society, to the inner sanctums of his ashram, where he conducts bizarre and disturbing "experiments" on his young female followers to test his own purity, this is a story of profound contradictions. It is a tale of a man who would sacrifice his own family for his vision, whose rigid advice to the Jews of Nazi Germany revealed a dangerous detachment from reality, and whose political genius was matched only by his personal blindness.
Framed by the modern-day quest of a driven researcher determined to separate the myth from the man, The Mahatma's Shadow is a gripping and provocative page-turner that challenges everything you thought you knew about the Father of a Nation. This is not the history you were taught. This is the truth that was left in the dark.
