"Ismail Vadi is ideally placed to have recorded this remarkable story: he is an historian and intellectual deeply involved in the politics of the Indian community and is himself an active contributor to the unfolding of events in his lifetime. I recommend this inspiring story of commitment and service to all those who strive for a non-racial, inclusive and democratic South Africa." Luli Callinicos, author of Oliver Tambo: Beyond the Engeli Mountains
