The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi: A Brief History.

The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi is a remarkable world-class resource for those with an interest in Gandhi, especially Gandhi scholars. However, very few know the history of this series and that lack of knowledge may be diminishing its value. In 1999 a digital electronically searchable version, one that scholars had long waited for, was published. A "revised" print version was published in 2001. The new versions however had fundamental flaws and were withdrawn from circulation in 2005. A searchable e-version of the original "standard" edition was finally released in 2015. Unfortunately, many Gandhi-related web sites and Gandhi scholars' libraries still carry the corrupted "revised" editions. The CWMG will reach its full potential when all the complementary volumes of the Letters to Gandhi are eventually published. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
