'You and I will probably not be alive to see it in action' [GANDHI MAHATMA]: (1869-1948) Indian Political and Spiritual Leader during the Indian Independence Movement. T.L.S., M. K. Gandhi (secretarial signature, possibly in the hand of a family member), one page, 8vo, Noakhali, 29th November 1946, to 'Dear Friend'. Gandhi states that he has neglected his correspondent's question for a long time ('You know the reason why') although remarks that he has their letter to Pyarelalji before him, commenting 'Of course conversions will so far as I know continue under swaraj, but there would be no State favouritism as there has been during the British regime. Let us hope that under swaraj there will be no one man rule but the people's. You and I will probably not be alive to see it in action'. A letter of interesting content for its references to self-rule, and the precognition of his death which was to tragically occur by assassination just over a year after the date of the present letter. VG The present letter was written in the aftermath of the communal riots at Noakhali where Gandhi stayed for around four months motivating the people towards his peaceful coexistence and non-violence philosophy.
