Atmakatha Athava Ente Sathyanweshana Pareekshanakatha

Mohandas Gandhi traces the experiments that shaped his life and ideas in this autobiography, which reaches up to the early 1920s. He narrates his childhood in Gujarat, his studies in London, and the racism that struck him in South Africa, where he developed nonviolent resistance. He then follows his first campaigns in India. Alongside the events, he writes about vegetarianism, celibacy, honesty, and how he examined his own conduct, and he is open about mistakes he made as a husband, father, and leader.

It suits readers interested in the moral thinking of a major twentieth-century figure. People looking for a candid, plainly written account of a life shaped by self-discipline will find it here.

Inward-looking, contemplative and clear-cut; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
