Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi's work focused on achieving India's independence through peaceful means, and his writings explored a wide range of topics including social justice, ethics, and spirituality. He became a symbol of peaceful defiance, and his legacy continues to resonate today.
Gandhi never wavered in his belief in non-violent protest. In 1915 he took up the struggle for independence from Britain, which became a reality in 1947. In this narrative biography, Gandhi also offers his life story as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps.
