Gandhi (M. K.) Young India: A Weekly Journal, Vol. X, Nos. 1 - 52, pp. 432, some browning, occasional tears, modern cloth, folio, Ahmedabad, 1928. ***Founded by Gandhi in 1919, the paper campaigned for passive resistance, Hindu-Moslem unity, the emancipation of the Indian peasant and the abolition of untouchability. Under his editorship, it played a crucial role in transforming the Indian National Congress from an urban middle class pressure group into a mass organisation based on the Indian peasantry. On 10th March 1922 Gandhi was arrested for the first time on a charge of sedition and sentenced to 6 years imprisonment. The final two issues, which report his imprisonment, were edited by Shuaid Queshi.
