Gandhi

This audiobook chronicles the life of Mohandas Gandhi from his arrival in Bombay in 1915 through his transformative efforts over the next thirty years to liberate India from British rule, promote Hindu-Muslim harmony, combat untouchability, and foster economic and moral self-reliance. Author Ramachandra Guha utilizes a wealth of archival material, including previously unavailable papers belonging to Gandhi, to shed light on his strategies of nonviolence—such as strikes, marches, and fasts—that challenged societal norms and colonial authority. The narrative offers a nuanced look at Gandhi's relationships with family, friends, and political leaders, revealing the complexities behind his thoughts and actions in the context of Indian society.
