Everyone knows the name Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but if you mention Nikunja Bihari Goswami, most people would shrug.
This largely unknown patriot of Bangladesh dedicated his life to Gandhi's ideals, all the time believing that good days were ahead for the people living on the Indian subcontinent.
Goswami left the house at seventeen and took shelter in an ashram, dedicating himself to serving the nation as Gandhi advised. Throughout the independence movement, he was at the forefront and imprisoned several times.

How has the modern conservative movement thrived in spite of the lack of harmony among its constituent members? What, and who, holds together its large corporate interests, small-government libertarians, social and racial traditionalists, and evangelical Christians?
