This is, perhaps, one of the more "representational" and non-diagrammatic of the illustrations Petheo would draw in Rise of the West. In this image, Petheo depicts Mahatma Gandhi's (1869--1948) message: a combination of Hindu asceticism and Christian pacifism, which together produced Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance to British colonial rule. With his left hand, Gandhi is rejecting ideas from Hinduism and Islam as well as the Christianity and Unitarianism taught in British schools. These ideas are the ones held by India's urban classes, who nevertheless warmly receive Gandhi's message. They stand close together, some embracing, which represents the mass movement Gandhi created.
