ed. After some time when we have recovered from the shock of the Mahatma 's death and are able to comprehend the fullness and richness of his life, the national Government should take the lead in appointing a committee of the best brains in the country— including the best script-writers in the industry— to prepare a script of the film on Gandhiji's life. It will not be an easy task to compress such a long and active life within the compass of a single film, however long it may be, nor will it be easy to dramatise the events in Gandhiji's life for filmic purposes and yet retain the spiritual loftiness of his character. Then the selection of a proper person to play the role itself n;ay take years. Only then, and under the strict supervision of the Government and of authorities on Gandhiji's life and the Gandhian philosophy, can a combination of the country's best directors, producers and technicians go to work on the film, in a reverential spirit. Though even the best of films can only be a pale reflection of the Mahatma 's noble life, yet if produced with care and reverence it may be a source of inspiration for generations to come who will not have the good fortune to have lived in the era of the Mahatma. But in no circumstances can the life of Gandhiji be allowed to be tampered with for purposes of individual glory and private profit of any one producer.
