By M.K. Gandhi · 2010

Synopsis

First published in Gujarati in the 1920s, this autobiography follows Mohandas Gandhi from childhood in Porbandar and Rajkot through student years in London and two decades in South Africa. He records diet, marriage, legal work, and the experiments in truth-telling and self-rule that become satyagraha against racial laws. The later chapters cover the return to India, ashram life, and the early campaigns that tested non-cooperation. He writes less as a political chronicle than as an account of conscience: vows, failures, and the link between personal discipline and public action. The narrative stops before the last years of the independence struggle.
