Moved to tears

Sir, — The supplement, `The Mahatma and The Hindu' ( Oct.2 ) was very good. I was moved to tears on reading Gandhi's single-handed battle against apartheid in Africa and against British imperialism.

M. Sundaresan,
Chennai

Sir, — It brought to mind how far we have come from those times. Today, the Sangh Parivar has converted patriotism to mindless jingoism.

Rahul Basu,
Chennai

Sir, — I have been in the Andamans for the past 26 years. I was taken back to 1948 on Oct. 2.

N. Purushothaman Kutty,
Port Blair
