Rajmohan Gandhi
HOW I see IT
Born in 1935, Rajmohan Gandhi has been writing on democracy and human rights from 1964, when with a few friends he started a weekly called HIMMAT in Mumbai. This We Are One Humanity website is his brainchild. You will find Rajmohan's views here in his column, ‘HOW I SEE IT’.
Over the years Rajmohan has been a journalist, a professor teaching history and politics in the U.S. and in India, an author of biographies and histories, and a member of the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of India’s parliament).
His articles here were mostly written for the website himmat.net, which Rajmohan had started in 2017, and which has been replaced by this website.
