10 volumes, all in original cloth, 5 with original dust jacket. A remarkable private collection of 10 early biographies and works supporting Gandhi, each signed by the author. While Western biographers began to take interest in Gandhi beginning with Romain Roland (1924), this collection includes only association or signed copies of works by Indian authors. Represented here are both those who had followed Gandhi from his earliest political machinations in South Africa, as well as his early followers who subsequently emigrated to America in order to raise public awareness of the Indian Independence movement. In contrast to the author-signed works of Western biographers, which can be encountered in the trade today, works signed by Indian authors of this period are notoriously rare. Includes individually: 1) Muzumdar, Haridas T. Gandhi the Apostle. His Trial and His Message. Chicago: Universal Publishing Co., 1923. Blue cloth. Inscribed "Presented to my good friend Charles E. Sekera by Haridas T. Muzumdar / Evanston, Xmas, 1924". - First edition.

"Immaculately dressed, polished in manners, brilliant in oratory, Hossain captivated his audiences from coast to coast," said A. K. Mozumdar, a colleague and fellow activist of Hossain. The Los Angeles Times described him as "the most distinguished Indian visitor in America since Tagore" while according to the New York-based Foreign Policy Association, "of the hundreds of speakers who have addressed our conferences during the past five years, none were more brilliant or authoritative than Mr Hossain". In September 1945, Hossain suggested to Jawaharlal Nehru that he return to India to work towards Hindu-Muslim harmony and stand for elections. After consulting Asaf Ali and Gandhi, Nehru cabled back: "Gandhiji thinks you can do more important work in America". Hossain briefly served as India's first ambassador to Egypt, where he died in 1949. - 4) Muzumdar, Haridas T. Gandhi Triumphant! The Inside Story of the Historic Fast.

Richard Casey (1890-1976) was made Governor of Bengal by Winston Churchill in January 1944, in the immediate aftermath of the great famine, and against a background of increased nationalist agitation. He "was shocked by British racial snobbery, and he tried to break down walls between Government House in Calcutta and the local community" (Australian DNB), partly through the organisation of a series of face-to-face meetings held between himself and Gandhi in Kolkata (Calcutta) in December 1945, at one of which our photograph was taken. In later life Casey served as Governor-General of Australia from 1965 to 1969. - Provenance: Arthur Hughes, Indian Civil Service, Labour Commissioner and Registrar of Trade Unions, Bengal (mentioned in the King's Birthday Honours list for 1943), and later Senior Master at Doon School; by descent to the second last owner.
