My dear friend Joyce Lebra passed on last Sunday at the age of 95. Joyce was one of the most distinguished American historians of Asia, specifically Japan and India during the Second World War. She was author/editor of fifteen books, including three novels. #JoyceLebra

Mithi Mukherjee on Gandhi’s trial when he rejects #section124a as incompatible to dignity; notes affection cannot be regulated by law; sees noncooperation as a way to reclaim dignity; is against sacrificing personal dignity to a distorted sense of duty to #law #Gandhi150 #LSA2019
