Gandhi Under Cross Examination is a 2009 book written by G. B. Singh and Timothy Watson about Mahatma Gandhi.[1] They critique Gandhi's image as an Indian civil rights leader by cross-examining him and his views in an imaginary courtroom.
In 1893, Gandhi went to South Africa where, by his own account, he was thrown off a train on racial grounds.[2] In their scrutiny of the incident and Gandhi's statements thereafter, the authors claim that Gandhi gave divergent accounts of what happened on his journey to Pretoria.[1] Gandhi Under Cross-examination catalogs the incidents that happened around that time and attempts to prove that the train incident never occurred. The authors claim that Gandhi lied about the train incident.[3]
