- Autorenportrait
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, honorifically known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, British India, Gandhi became the architect of a form of non-violent civil disobedience that would influence the world. Educated in law at the Inner Temple, London, Gandhi initially attempted to establish a law practice in Bombay, but later moved to South Africa to work and found his political calling through the civil rights struggle there. Gandhi's experiences in South Africa were pivotal in the development of his social and political views. Upon returning to India, he became the leading figure in the struggle for Indian independence from British rule, employing nonviolent resistance through mass national campaigns. As a prolific writer, Gandhi authored numerous works, but his autobiography, 'The Story of My Experiments with Truth,' stands out as a monumental testament to his life, philosophy, and the development of his ideas of Satyagrahanon-violent resistance. In this literary piece, he chronicles his spiritual journey, setting an example of integrity and introspection. Gandhi's literary style in the autobiography is characterized by its directness, honesty, and a narrative that mingles personal reflections with political ideology. His works continue to inspire civil rights movements across the globe. Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948, but remains a symbol of peace and resilience.
