“My trip to the land of Gandhi” By Martin Luthar King Jr. Ebony, July 1959, pp 84-92. Read more at—http://mlk-kpp01.stanford.edu/primarydocuments/590700-004.pdf In this account of his India tour published in Ebony magazine, King notes that Gandhi’s spirit is still alive, though “some of his disciples have misgivings about this when . . . they look around and find nobody today who comes near the stature of the Mahatma.” Lamenting India’s pervasive economic inequalities, King ob-serves that “the bourgeoise—white, black or brown—behaves about the same the world over,” and he calls upon the West to aid India’s development “in a spirit of international brotherhood, not national selfishness.”
