SUMMARY - Mohandas K. Gandhi, Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.


*As you read this summary, you will discover how Gandhi spurred the movement that led to India's independence.


*You will also discover : that the oppression of his countrymen became evident during his trip to South Africa; that he tried to teach the Indians to oppose the authorities without violence; that for him this struggle was a quest for truth and purity; that his material and mental destitution was his path to God; that to reach Ahimsâ - non-violence - he had to place himself at the level of the most destitute.


*According to Gandhi himself, this autobiography was inspired by the Spirit. It is neither a diary nor the complete story of his life, but a sum of reflections on the main decisions he had to make. He also omits important moments, such as his stays in prison, because he feels that they did not bring him what he expected. He devotes long pages to the way he weaves khādī - the Indian fabric he wants all inhabitants to wear. These technical details may seem superfluous, but for him they are on the same level as his calls for disobedience. Are you ready to plunge into the turmoil that, at the beginning of the 20th century, transformed the balance of power between colonizers and colonized?
