India in Bondage: Her Right to Freedom and a Place Among the Great Nations.

1929150889New York: Lewis Copeland Company 1929. First edition of this political critique of British colonial rule in India. Octavo original publisher's cloth with gilt titles to the spine vignette of India stamped in gilt to the front panel frontispiece of Nobel Prize-winning Indian author Rabindranath Tagore illustrated with black and white photographs throughout. Boldly signed by Mohandas Gandhi and comic actor filmmaker and composer Charlie Chaplin on the recto of the frontispiece in fountain pen. Additionally signed and dated by Mirabehn on the recto of the frontispiece "Mira 22.9.31." Mirabehn was the name adopted by Madeleine Slade 1892-1982 an Englishwoman who became a devoted follower of Mahatma Gandhi and an influential figure in India's independence movement. In very good condition. On September 22 1931 in a modest house on East India Dock Road in London's East End Charlie Chaplin met MahatmaÂ GandhiÂ during the latter's visit to Britain for the Second Round Table Conference - a series of high-profile negotiations on India's constitutional future.Â GandhiÂ had come as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress hoping to press the case for Indian self-rule. AlthoughÂ GandhiÂ had never heard of the film star he agreed to meet him only after learning how profoundly Chaplin's work resonated with ordinary people. Their conversation turned to machinery and its social impact: Chaplin argued that machines could free workers from drudgery whileÂ GandhiÂ countered that under colonialism mechanization had only deepened India's economic dependence on Britain. Before India could enjoy the benefits of technological progress he insisted it first needed freedom. The encounter made a lasting impression on Chaplin. According to recollections he joinedÂ GandhiÂ in prayer during the visit and afterward described him as 'one of the most brilliant men' he had ever met. Five years later Chaplin released Modern Times widely regarded to be one of the best films of his career one of the last great silent movies and the last outing for his Little Tramp character. The themes of the movie - concern for workers skepticism toward unrestrained industrialization and an interest in human dignity - echo the conversation he shared withÂ GandhiÂ that afternoon. Accompanied by a typed holiday greeting card from Doctor Katial which reads in full "With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from Doctor Katial." Together with a handwritten letter of provenance from the original recipient W. Stuart Masters. The letter reads in full "'India in Bondage' by Prof. J.T. Sunderland. Autographed by Charles Chaplin and Mohandas Gandhi. This book was a gift to me by my friend Dr. C. L. Katial sometime mayor and alderman of Clerkenwell. At the time of the abortive 1931 All-India Conference Chaplin was visiting London and wished to meetÂ GandhiÂ privately for a talk. The result of the talk was the film Modern Times. News of the impending meeting have 'leaked' to the Press a 'secret' meeting place was sought and found in the East End home of Dr. Katial who was acting asÂ Gandhi's personal physician during his London visit. Dr. Katial phoned me the place and time to give an 'exclusive' interview; and I obtained the autographs at that time. W. Stuart Masters." Both are in near fine condition and laid in. Jabez T. Sunderland 1842â€“1936 was an American Unitarian minister reformer and writer whose work engaged prominently with international social and political issues particularly the cause of Indian self-government. Trained in theology and active in liberal religious circles Sunderland combined clerical leadership with advocacy for education peace and anti-imperial reform. He became especially known for his criticism of British colonial rule in India articulated most fully in India in Bondage 1928. Drawing on economic data historical analysis and contemporary political developments Sunderland contends that British administration imposed structural economic hardship and curtailed Indiaâ€™s political and moral autonomy.
