My Life : Mahatma Gandhi (eBook)

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in British-occupied India. Though he studied law in London and spent his early adulthood in South Africa, he remained devoted to his homeland and spent the later part of his life working to make India an independent nation. He inspired and enraged, challenged and delighted millions of men and women around the world. While fighting for national freedom, he also attacked caste and gender hierarchies, and fought for inter-religious harmony. This magnificent book tells the story of Gandhi's life from his departure from South Africa to his dramatic assassination in 1948. Calling for non-violent Civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for Civil Rights around the world. Gandhi is recognized internationally as a symbol of hope, peace, and freedom.
