Mahadev Desai, the de-facto Secretary of Mahatma Gandhi from 1917 to 1942 can be called the shadow of Gandhiji and his right hand. He used to record meticulously Gandhiji’s views, dialogues, speeches, articles etc. in his ‘Diary’.  Starting the first ‘Diary’ on November 13, 1917, he continued writing it till the day before his death, i.e. August 14, 1942.

National Gandhi Museum has undertaken the task of translating the Diaries from Gujarati to English and Hindi and publish them gradually.

Volume 19 now published, in English, covers the period of the continued controversy over the Communal Award (1932), the foundation of the Congress Socialist Party and Mahatma Gandhi’s resignation from the primary membership of the Congress.

 Earlier, in English, one Volume was published by Navajivan Publishing House, Ahmedabad and nine by Sarva Seva Sangh, Varanasi.

 This volume significantly enhances our understanding of Gandhi’s general outlook.
