  • Description

    My Experiments With Truth is the autobiography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the man who was unanimously awarded the name he rightfully deserves, the title of Mahatma.

    Summary of the Book

    At the dawn of the twentieth century, India was roaring for independence. The British Raj had been controlling the land for nearly four centuries, taking all that the country had to offer and giving oppression and chaos in return. Violence had done little to dissuade its insistence on ruling. Yet, one man stood in front of the might of the British Crown and challenged it with a uniquely Indian weapon: nonviolence. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had already won a reputation in South Africa, where he helped the natives fight racial oppression through his principles and his nature to convince men to follow his ways wherever he went. He returned to India with that single thought, to secure the independence of the country. He stood in front of them, clad in simple khadi materials he wove himself and with a gaunt gait that proved no threat. Yet, he shook the nation with his principles, turning the other cheek each time he was threatened. In this book, written after repeated demands from his friends, Gandhi reveals that all he ever did was a simple experiment, one where he continuously tested truth.

    About Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a freedom fighter, former advocate and Indian political figure. He was famous for his advocacy on nonviolence and his general outlook on life.

    Born in Porbandar, Gujarat, Gandhi's life was changed with his education and eventual journey to South Africa where he helped the natives battle racism. He returned to his motherland to find her weeping under the weight of British Rule and his actions finally engulfed India into the final years of conflict before finally achieving Independence.

    Media Note

    Much of Gandhi’s life was adapted into a hit film starring Ben Kingsley.

    A thought provoking book.

    Never has there been a book, that has moved me so much as this book has. Never has there been a book, that has rocked me to the core as this book has.

    It taught me that honesty is one of the hardest but the most fulfilling characteristics one can have. It's difficult and it is a life long effort because the other road tempts you at every moment in the journey of life. That road is often easy. But truth and honesty gives you this exhilarating feeling of freedom and fearlessness that once tast...

    A profound experiment to fathom the un-fathomable

    The society has numerous conceptions on Gandhi. If one praises his struggle for freedom of nation, the other condemns him of his prudence.
    So, to really get the true acquaintance of Gandhi, I took the plunge of reading this book and I came to an understanding that people condemn him just out of their societal prejudices without diving to understand the actual events.
    The auto-biography was so humble and honest. It seems that he made everything so clear without an iota of egoistic concealmen...

    Must read for everyone

    I had ordered this book from flipkart but from a different publication house.
    Now about the book:
    First of all, what a recollection of all the thoughts.
    A book, looking so simple yet so powerful that it moved my life.
    what a man "Mahatma Gandhi" was.
    A narration of his encounter with truth is all what this book talks about. no details about the freedom struggle. but hey! the tree is strong if its roots are. and the same is here also.
    right from keeping the vow for vegetarianism to protesting ...

    Great work

    One word : Inspiring.

    But i have to write 100 words to submit the review. So the book has a good flow, but before reading have a brief factual reading about Gandhiji so you will be able to relate better when you are reading this.
    Awesome book it truly reflects the various shades of the Great Man;s life, family and his convictions.

    Must read for everyone

    this book certainly shows the depth of Gandhi's understanding of his era of religion and politics...and especially shows the courage he had of doing things which he felt supported the truth...his ideas and philosophy were something which he rediscovered and re innovated.......its certainly should brought in the curriculum of every boards of the country.....so that people may understand the value and meaning of truth and freedom in the true sense....
