Spratt, one of the founders of the Communist Party in India, later prosecuted in the labor-focused Meerut Conspiracy Case, uses a heavy-handed psychoanalytic conceptual framework to--brashly--sum up all of Hindu India. The first appendix, now a dated curiosity, provides a psychoanalysis of Mahatma Gandhi.
