Passing Shadow - David Low in Evening Standard, London, England, 1931.
The scene is No. 10 Downing Street, known the world over as the official residence of the Prime Minister of Britain, then the ruler of the most powerful empire, on which the sun never set. Inside it representatives of the self-governing white dominions of the empire are in conclave. Outside, walks Gandhi, a mute reminder of the fact that the most populous country of the empire, the pivot on which it revolved, was denied self-rule.
