Abstract

[There has been virtually no serious study of Gandhi and broadcasting. The topic has either been ignored or downplayed as representing another example of Gandhi’s so-called disdain of modern technologies. However, this has served to obscure an interesting and important dimension of the Mahatma’s approach to and use of the media. This chapter analyses Gandhi’s views on radio and his interaction with key broadcasters as well as with the medium per se in India and overseas. Gandhi’s two live broadcasts—the first from London during 1931, and the second in 1947 after Indian Independence—are also discussed. The full text of both broadcasts are reproduced in the Appendix.]
