The caption on the back of this photograph, taken during George Congerís visit to India in the 1930s, reads: "Mr. Gandhi, speaking at the first public meeting of his tour of India on behalf of the untouchables. Seated in front of the daïs, at the left, are Mrs. Gandhi and one of their grandchildren. In front of the platform at the right is Seth Jamanlal Bejag, the banker who has been among his most faithful followers. The man standing at the right, indistinct in the photograph, is the "loud speaker" (shouting Mr. Gandhi's speech, sentence by sentence, to the crowd). The inscription overhead reads: "Hail to Mahatma Gandhi. Welcome to All."
