Conversations with Gandhi

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1905 a young Englishwoman, Millie Downs , travelled to Johannesburg to marry Henry Polak , who had become active in Gandhi's campaign for the rights of South Africa's Indians. Millie Polak challenged the young Gandhi about his views on sex, faith and food, and on his treatment of women - and she wrote down their conversations. These revealing talks are recreated here and placed in the context of Gandhi's early experiments in how best to live. Producer Mark Whitaker
