Mohandas Gandhi
New Delhi, India

Dear Mr. Gandhi:

Congratulations on your new independence in India from the

British. I live in Morocco, which is still controlled by direct
imperialism by the French. We too want independence.

What kind of imperialism did the British practice in India? How

exactly did you get independence from them? I look forwarding to
hearing about how your country got freedom, so I can do the same
in Morocco.

Thank you sincerely for your time and input,

Mohammed V
