The three friends were completely united in their goals for India’s future. These were freedom, Hindu–Muslim unity, and the removal of untouchability. Occasionally Andrews, and even Tagore, pressed Gandhi about giving priority to the cause of abolishing untouchability. Tagore complained that social reform was taking a back seat to ‘khaddar’ and ‘economic recovery’. Andrews differed with Gandhi on the Khilafat question. All things considered, it was the purity of their friendship that kept all three of them ‘working’ continuously no matter what their differences were. Without that, how could Gandhi have written to Andrews: ‘I know what spiritual struggles mean for you.’

A new Immigration Bill passed by the Government of South Africa in March 1913 made things worse for the Natal Indians by adversely affecting even their existing rights. Gandhi saw the writing on the wall. He knew this to be a deliberate attempt to rid South Africa of its resident Indian population. The three friends were in no doubt that the Indian problem in South Africa was driven by racism. Given that premise, Andrews was overcome with joy when he discovered copies of Tagore’s Gitanjali (Song Offerings) verses in several houses in Durban and Pretoria. He was also pleased at being asked to speak about Tagore’s poetry to audiences there. His experience in South Africa confirmed what Tagore’s ideas could do in fractured environments.

After meeting Tagore in 1912, Andrews was seriously considering moving to Santiniketan to help with Tagore’s school there. He came to visit the Santiniketan school for the first time in March 1913 and then again in July. Tagore was still in England but his elder brother Dwijendranath, who was everybody’s Barodada (elder brother), lived in Santiniketan. He and Andrews were greatly drawn to one another as the joyous letters Andrews wrote from his visits to the school convey. Andrews moved to Santiniketan in 1914 on leaving missionary service altogether. Another former missionary William Pearson was also teaching at Santiniketan. In November 1914 Gandhi’s boys from the Phoenix School also came to Santiniketan after leaving South Africa. On 12 November 1914 Pearson wrote to Gandhi: ‘Your big family arrived here last Saturday from the Gurukul all very well and happy.’
