Charles Freer Andrews, born on 12 February 1871, was
a priest of the Church of England. A Christian missionary, educator and social
reformer in India, he became a close friend of Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma
Gandhi and identified with the cause of India's independence. He was
instrumental in convincing Gandhi to return to India from South Africa, where
Gandhi had been a leading light in the Indian civil rights struggle.
