Mahatma Gandhi-Apostle of Nonviolence

Indians simply called him 'Bapu' and Tagore called him ' Mahatma'. For Churchill he was the  'half-naked fakir'. For the world, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the greatest and most influential Indian of the twentieth century.

Gandhi described his journey through life as a 'quest for truth' and it led him to the struggle for freedom in India. Inspiring people through his unique strategy of satyagraha - a nonviolent struggle spirit of the movement. An ideology that would later influence leaders like Martin Luther king and Nelson Mandela.

Political leaders, social reformer and philosopher, this is the mesmerizing the story of a frail, self-deprecating man who possessed the charisma that could galvanize a nation and lead it to freedom.

The book analyses Gandhi's life from his childhood, his years in South Africa and his return to India.
