Mochandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was born in Porbander in the western coast of India. His childhood and early upbringing were undistinguished but as an adult he initiated and was involved in a series of novel forms of peaceful protests which established him as one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. This meticulously edited volume, culled from the 'Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi,' contains a representative selection of his writings focusing on themes which were central to Gandhi's philosophy. These themes include: the creed of non-violence, the Quit India movement, his views on women and sex and his arguments against caste and untouchability.
