About this ebook

The remarkable life and inspiring beliefs of a legendary peacemaker and liberator of India—in his own words.
 
Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.
 
In the story of his life from early childhood through 1921, Mohandas K. Gandhi candidly reveals his young investigations into sin and seeking atonement; the philosophy, art, and literature that influenced his thoughts and ideas; and his first experiences with politics and protest, which would provide the foundation for his nonviolent struggle for justice, equality, and Indian independence from the British Empire.
 
Gandhi’s intention in setting down an account of his formative years was to clarify the spiritual principles by which he lived and to inspire individuals and movements in their quests for personal and political freedom. The timeless lessons to be derived from the autobiography of this dedicated seeker of truth and brilliant leader continue to resonate wherever freedom is challenged by tyranny.

About the author

Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948) was born in Porbandar, India, to a religious family. As a young man, Gandhi studied law and received his degree in England. He pursued his law practice in South Africa, where he first experimented with creating campaigns of civil disobedience and protest. After two decades in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India and became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement to fight for independence from the British Empire, spearheading nonviolent protests. He spent the rest of his life championing Indian independence and rights, and was assassinated at the age of seventy-eight.
