About the Author
Mahatma Gandhi, revered as the father of India's independence movement, was a visionary leader, philosopher, and advocate for nonviolent resistance whose profound writings continue to inspire global movements for justice and equality. Born in 1869 in Porbandar, India, Gandhi studied law in London before practicing in South Africa, where he developed his philosophy of satyagraha, or truth-force, through campaigns against racial discrimination. Returning to India in 1915, he led the nation toward freedom from British rule via peaceful protests, including the historic Salt March and Quit India Movement. His literary contributions, blending spiritual insight with political activism, emphasize self-reliance, ethical living, and the power of moral courage. Gandhi's enduring legacy as a symbol of peace earned him the title 'Mahatma,' and his works remain essential reading for those seeking transformative social change.
