This book is a story of friendship between three remarkable individuals drawn from their lifelong work for India's freedom. They were Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi and the Anglican missionary, Charles Freer Andrews, who became a most loving friend to both Tagore and Gandhi. The universal principles they applied in attaining that goal have given us an alternative legacy. It is the legacy of a nationalism that worked with complete restraint, a legacy that cried halt to the movement whenever it turned violent, that proclaimed the way forward to be in self-suffering and not in hatred of the enemy.
