Brown, Rebecca. Introduction to Gandhis Spinning Wheel and the Making of India. 2010. Reprint, New York: Routledge, 2011. This book tells about the origin of Gandhis spinning wheel and how it symbolizes the history of India. Spinning was seen as an economic and political activity that could bring together the diverse population of South Asia. I used a quote out of this book. Eustace D'Souza. Interview by Vishnu Som, Great Battles, NDTV, July 3, 2005 (originally aired June 19, 2005). This is a great documentary using very rare, unseen footage of Indian troops in combat during World War II. The series attempts to portray the soldiers in all their glory. On an interview with Major General Eustace D'Souza (Retd), the Major describes the segregation of the soldiers and how the soldiers made sacrifices even when treated unfair. I learned much from this documentary and have even included footage on my website. Hatt, Christine. Mahatma Gandhi-(Judge for Yourself). London: Evans Brothers Limited, 2002. This book has plenty of color photos, maps, and illustrations. The author gives a captivating account of the life and mission of Gandhi in both South Africa and India. I did use a quote from this book. Even though the book is geared toward younger audiences, it still gave an excellent understanding of Gandhi and his contribution to the social and political fields of India. King, Martin Luther, Jr. All Things Considered. NPR. January 16, 2009. National Public Radio. Accessed February 16, 2012. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/ story.php?storyId=99480326. This is a long lost sound recording of Dr. King as he emphasizes his intellectual debt to Mahatma Gandhis message of nonviolent social action. He tells how much he is greatly influenced by him. Although influenced by Gandhi, they never met or spoke. Mahatma Gandhi legacy still remains today.

Dr. King talks about how he first got to know about Gandhi and how he was deeply influenced by him. It is amazing to see how one person can base their lifestyle on anothers. Dr. King used non-violent civil-disobedience to protest for African American Civil Rights just like Gandhi did for freeing the Indians from British Rule. I put this interview on the legacy page of my website. Lal, Vinay. Quit India Movement. Manas: India and Its Neighbors. Last modified June 2008. http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/southasia/History/Gandhi/Quit.html. (Accessed February 12, 2012.) This is a site about the history of India. It tells in detail about the stages of the Indian Empire. Although this is a personal scholarly website made by a Professor, it is hosted by The University of California, Los Angeles.

Quit India Movement: 1942-1945. New Delhi: Commonwealth Publishers, 2008. This book was fascinating. It described the war situation and why Gandhi wanted immediate independence. Also it told the impact of the movement in Indian politics. It was from this book that I learned how the speech united Indians throughout the country. This scholarly book led me to further research of the subject. Although I did not use quotes from this book, it really helped me understand the Quit India Movement and Speech.

It placed everything in chronological order, which helped me sort out the complex relations and political problems involving British imperialism. The book also explained the importance of the freedom fights n Indias history. There were many things in this book that I did not include in my project, but developed my ideas on English policies. Politics in India were a major part of this book. I did use many quotes from this book.
