New York, 16 February, 1998

Dear Mr. Cappato and PerDuca,

2. it was very interesting to note that the Transnational Radical Party has Gandhi in its logo. It does seem like a corroboration of the view of radicalism as an essential ingredient of Gandhi's thought.

3. I used the term 'ultimate radical' as expressive of Gandhi capability for totally lateral thinking in arriving at a moral position or necessary course of action which did not lean on conventional thinking but at the same time derived its strength from tradition.

4. Many thanks for your communication.

Yours sincerely,

Kamalesh Sharma
