forms as a practical means of overcoming violence, more especially in
group life, Gandhiji established a new mile-stone in the history of the
human race in its march towards peace on earth and goodwill among
men. He himself did not claim finality for his methods, as after all he
was a pioneer in the field and a humble experimenter. The science of
Satyagraha is therefore still in the making. But his teachings and experi-
ence are invaluable for all future students and makers of this science.
The purpose of this volume is to help in the process by making avail-
able for the reader Gandhiji's findings in his own words and in as
comprehensive a form as possible.

Bombay, August, 1950 BHARATAN KUMARAPPA

From my introductory note to Section Eighth the impression is created
that the Harijan after its suspension in November 1940 was permitted to be
published again only in February, 1946. This is wrong. As a matter of fact it
was restarted in January, 1942, after a lapse of about 14 months. It was pub-
lished in three separate languages (English, Gujarati and Hindi) by the
Navajivan Press from Ahmedabad till August of that year when the press was
confiscated by the Government after the arrest of Gandhiji and other leaders.
Since that time the press remained in the custody of the Government and the
publication of the Harijan weeklies could be resumed only in February, 1946.
