Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi. Please help sahitya chintan digitization project!

Four or five years ago, at the instance of some of my nearest co-workers, I agreed to write my autobiography. I made the start, but scarcely had I turned over the first sheet when riots broke out in Bombay and the work remained at a standstill. Then followed a series of events which culminated in my imprisonment at Yeravda. Sjt. Jeramdas, who was one of my fellow-prisoners there, asked me to put everything else on one side and finish writing the autobiography. Eu respondi que já havia enquadrado um programa de estudo para mim e que não conseguia pensar em fazer mais nada até que este curso estivesse completo. De fato, eu deveria ter terminado a autobiografia se tivesse passado por meu período completo de prisão em Yeravda, pois ainda restava um ano para concluir a tarefa, quando recebi alta. Swami Anand agora repetiu a proposta e, ao terminar a história de Satyagraha na África do Sul, sou tentado a realizar a autobiografia para Navajivan. The Swami wanted me to write it separately for publication as a book. But I have no spare time. I could only write a chapter week by week. Something has to be written for Navajivan every week. Why should it not be the autobiography? The Swami agreed to the proposal, and here am I hard at work.
