Chachaji
13 August 1903 — 2 September 1986
A Fiery Patriot Speaks
(Interviewed by Dr Hari Dev Sharma on 29 April 1970, for the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi)
Chachaji’s life in his own speaking voice — Lahore under martial law, the Clock Tower pledge, Multan jail, and the turn towards Pondicherry.
Voyage of a Faquir
Chachaji’s own account of his life — the Salt Range village he was born in, the freedom struggle and Multan jail, and the evening in Pondicherry that turned everything.
चाचा जी की आत्मकथा
Chachaji in his own hand — the dark birth-room in Vahalee, the freedom struggle, Multan jail, and the evening in Pondicherry that changed everything. The Hindi original behind Voyage of a Faquir.
चाचा जी के पावन संस्मरण
Forty-seven recollections, from the neem tree at the Ashram gate to Ustad Allauddin Khan. Small episodes from his own life, in his own words.
चाचाजी की मधुर कहानियाँ
Nineteen stories Chachaji used to tell at satsang — of a king and a faqir, of Kabir and Shabari, and of a general manager in America.
