"A Letter to a Hindu" (also known as "A Letter to a Hindoo") was a letter written by Leo Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das on 14 December 1908. The letter was written in response to two letters sent by Das, seeking support from the famous Russian author and thinker for India's independence from British colonial rule. The letter was published in the Indian newspaper Free Hindustan. The letter caused the young Mohandas Gandhi to write to the world-famous Tolstoy to ask for advice and for permission to reprint the Letter in Gandhi's own South African newspaper, Indian Opinion, in 1909. Mohandas Gandhi was stationed in South Africa at the time and just beginning his lifelong activist career. He then translated the letter himself, from the original English copy sent to India, into his native Gujarati.

It`s almost Christmas time! Nick started writing his letter to Santa. But this year, he felt pretty sad. Lately, his life had been quite different than before. So, the little boy was not certain that Santa would visit him. In spite of it all, Nick finished his letter, walked to his mail box and dropped his letter to Santa. Not long after, the mailman showed up. As he was dropping the red envelope in his bag, the wind started blowing. The letter slipped out of his hand and flew away. And then, a long and solitary stroll across town started for the poor little red envelope. Ouch! Ouch! Where will it land? Will the letter reach the North Pole in time? Will Nick receive Santa's visit?

The letter printed below is a translation of Tolstoy's letter written in Russian in reply to one from the Editor of Free Hindustan. After having passed from hand to hand, this letter at last came into my possession through a friend who asked me, as one much interested in Tolstoy's writings, whether I thought it worth publishing. I at once replied in the affirmative, and told him I should translate it myself into Gujarati and induce others' to translate and publish it in various Indian vernaculars.
