The Man Who Turned Truth and Nonviolence into a Force for Change
From Porbandar and South Africa to Salt Satyagraha and Quit India — the life and ideas of Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi is a biography by Indian author Parvind Kumar tracing the journey of the man behind the Mahatma — from his childhood in Porbandar and legal education in London to his transformative years in South Africa, where he developed Satyagraha as a distinctive method of resistance.
Back in India, the book follows his involvement in Champaran, Kheda and Ahmedabad, the Non-Cooperation Movement and the aftermath of Chauri Chaura, the Salt Satyagraha and Dandi March, the Round Table Conferences and the Quit India era.
