M K Gandhi An Autobiography

M K Gandhi An Autobiography: ‘the Story of my Experiments with Truth’. Mohandas Karamchand [Mahatma] Gandhi. Introduced by William Radice.

Born in 1869, Mohandas K. Gandhi (also known as Mahatma, or great soul) became one of the most prominent and inspiring figures of the 20th century. In his acclaimed account of the first half of his life, Gandhi recounts his childhood in India, education in England and early legal career in South Africa, before his return home to take up the cause of Indian self-determination. It is also the story of how he developed his principle of satyagraha, the steadfast, non-violent resistance to injustice that propelled the Indian struggle for independence and countless subsequent protests.

All of his so-called experiments, whether celibacy or fasting, had one end: truth and justice. Returning to British-ruled India in 1915, Gandhi began to mobilise his fellow Indians in peaceful demonstrations against injustices; not just the 1919 massacre at Amritsar, but the martial law that followed, during which innocent men and women were imprisoned and persecuted. The measures he advocated, such as Hindu and Muslim unity and the abolition of untouchability, put him in mortal danger and displeased his friends and colleagues. But, as he so eloquently puts it, truth is hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.
