"Wheels of Transformation"

The charkha, or spinning wheel, in India is a symbol of transformation and self-reliance.  In the book Grandfather Gandhi, the interlocking spinning wheels, each one moving the other, illustrate Gandhi's legacy to use his own anger to inspire others to create change for the better.
