My Experiments with Truth

Mohandas Karamchand Gandi, one of the greatest men to walk this earth, begins the story of his life with descriptions of his childhood in Porbandar and Rajkot in gujarat, his shooldays, his early marriage, the lessons he learnt when he tried stealing, told lies and smoked cigarettes, and his unshakeable devotion to his parents. He then tells us of his journeys abroad, first to england and then to South Africa, and narrates in simple, Lucid Language his transformation from a shy, diffident young man with a chronic fear of public speaking to a fearless lawyer and leader of men who took on the might of the British empire.
