The Indian Earthquake by C.F. Andrews examines the devastating 1934 Bihar earthquake, focusing on the widespread destruction and human suffering it caused. Andrews stresses the importance of compassion, solidarity, and collective responsibility in the recovery efforts. He critiques the socio-economic inequalities that magnified the plight of marginalized communities and advocates for social reform. Through personal stories and sharp social commentary, Andrews underscores the need for resilience, empathy, and justice in the aftermath of tragedy. The work serves as both a historical record and a call for societal change
Charles Freer Andrews (1871–1940) was an Anglican priest, missionary, educator, and a staunch supporter of Indian independence. A close ally of Gandhi and Tagore, he advocated for racial equality and Indian political rights. He contributed to the Indian National Congress, mediated labor strikes, and inspired social reformers like Joseph John. Andrews is commemorated with a feast day, a postage stamp, and a plaque at his birthplace. He was also portrayed in the 1982 film Gandhi
