Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, one of the greatest men to walk this earth. He begins the story of his life with descriptions of his childhood in Porbandhar and Rajkot in Gujrat, his schooldays, his early marriage, the lessons he learnt when he tried stealing, told lies and smoked cigarettes, and his unshakable devotion to his parents. He then tells us of his journey abroad, first to England and then to South Africa, and narrates in simple, lucid language his transformation from a shy, different young man with a chronic fear of public speaking to a fearless lawyer and leader of men who took on the might of the British empire.
First published in 1927, Gandhi’s autobiography is a classic of modern Indian literature. This edition in Puffin series is abridged for young reader. It starts with an introduction by APJ Abdul Kalam. This also contains many snippets about the topic which he mentions in the book for better understanding of his time & struggle. The book therefore allows a new generation to read and find inspiration in it.
