Description
Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, was originally written in Gujarati and published as Satyana Prayogoathva Aatmakatha (Experiments with Truth or Autobiography). It was published in serial form over a number of instalments in Navajivan, a Gujarati weekly, from 1925 to 1929. The English translation as we see it today was first published in 1948.
In The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mohandas Gandhi shares his ideologies and morals with the general public, and also narrates incidents that shaped the path that he would take towards the truth. Childhood incidents, incidents from the Indian struggle from independence, Gandhi’s experiences in South Africa, his return to India and his full-fledged involvement in the Independence struggle, his relationship with spirituality and kindness, are all part of this story that, as Gandhi stresses, is more about his experiments with life lessons and morals than it is an autobiography.
Considered one of the most important books of all time due to the influence it wields on people across the world, The Story of My Experiments with Truth is an insight into the mind and life of a man who went on to become the Father of the Nation and shaped India into what it is today.
Author's Description
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948)
Born on 2nd October 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – better known as Mahatma Gandhi – went on to become a lawyer and one of the strongest and most prominent figures in India's fight for independence. The youngest of four children, born to Karamchand Gandhi and Putlibai, Mohandas was a restless, unruly boy who was also, in a paradoxical manner, greatly affected by Indian epical stories of truth and morality.
Mohandas Gandhi married Kasturba in May 1883, aged 13, as was custom then, and together they had four children together. He graduated high school in 1887, and the following year he left for London to study law. Over years, his staunch belief in the peaceful resolution of conflicts made him a very significant figure in India's struggle for independence.
Besides his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mohandas Gandhi wrote another book called Satyagraha in South Africa, which covered his experience of living and starting a Satyagraha in South Africa – a country notorious for apartheid and racism. He wrote a political pamphlet called Hind Swaraj (or Indian Home Rule) and also served as an editor for several newspapers in multiple languages.
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated just a few months after India attained independence
in 1948. He left behind an unparalleled legacy in spirituality, non-violence, and the power of persistence.
