Amrita Bazar Patrika

Amrita Bazar Patrika, Allahabad

In life a mighty rebel, in death a beacon light No man in recorded history ever lived a life more daring in its conception, more eventful in its import and more human in its urges and impulses. Here is a tragic occasion when one can say truthfully that the world is poorer today, poorer not merely by the passing of this greatest man of the age but by the circumstances in which a life of selfless dedication has been so cruelly and so wantonly cut short.

. . .In life Gandhiji was a mighty rebel, in death Gandhiji is humanity's beacon light.
