Autorenporträt

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) Born on 2nd October 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - better known as Mahatma Gandhi - went on to become a lawyer and one of the strongest and most prominent figures in India's fight for independence. The youngest of four children, born to Karamchand Gandhi and Putlibai, Mohandas was a restless, unruly boy who was also, in a paradoxical manner, greatly affected by Indian epical stories of truth and morality. Mohandas Gandhi married Kasturba in May 1883, aged 13, as was custom then, and together they had four children together. He graduated high school in 1887, and the following year he left for London to study law. Over years, his staunch belief in the peaceful resolution of conflicts made him a very significant figure in India's struggle for independence. Besides his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mohandas Gandhi wrote another book called Satyagraha in South Africa, which covered his experience of living and starting a Satyagraha in South Africa - a country notorious for apartheid and racism. He wrote a political pamphlet called Hind Swaraj (or Indian Home Rule) and also served as an editor for several newspapers in multiple languages. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated just a few months after India attained independence in 1948. He left behind an unparalleled legacy in spirituality, non-violence, and the power of persistence.
