Who is the author of the book ‘Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and his Struggle with India’, criticised for its content?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The correct choice is: “Joseph Lelyveld”
Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India (2011) is by Joseph Lelyveld, a Pulitzer Prize-winning former executive editor of The New York Times. Reviews highlighting passages on Gandhi’s relationship with Hermann Kallenbach caused controversy, and Gujarat banned the book in 2011.
“Hermann Kallenbach” was Gandhi’s German-Jewish architect friend in South Africa, a subject of the book, not its author.
