About the Author

Peter Ruhe lives in Berlin and Mumbai, India. He is a specialist in the conservation of visual material depicting Gandhi and has worked on numerous television productions and multimedia events across the world. He is the founder of Gandhiserve, a registered charity that aims to teach others about Gandhi's life and work and has contributed to the establishment of the Gandhi Information Centre in Berlin. In 1992 Ruhe was recognized by the Gujarati Writer's Association in Rajkot, India, for his astonishing support of Gandhi. Ruhe's over-arching aim is to assimilate first-hand information about Gandhi and India's freedom movement in order that, accordingly, he may help the owners of any valuable material to maintain and make available their treasured films, letters, photographs and documents.
