Books Written By Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi, widely known as the Father of the Nation in India, was a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat, Gandhi was a lawyer by profession but is best remembered for his philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) and his method of Satyagraha, which emphasized civil resistance and peaceful protest. His ideas inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi authored numerous books and writings that reflect his deep commitment to truth, justice, and social reform. His most notable work, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, remains a profound exploration of his life’s journey and philosophical development. Through his writings and leadership, Gandhi left an indelible mark on both India and the global discourse on peace, justice, and non-violence.
