Gandhi Before India
Book • 2014
This book is the first part of a two-volume biography of Mahatma Gandhi by Ramachandra Guha.
It delves into Gandhi's life from his birth in 1869 to his return to India in 1915, covering his upbringing in Gujarat, his years as a student in London, and his two decades as a lawyer and community organizer in South Africa.
The biography draws on newly uncovered materials to provide a vivid portrait of Gandhi's development of the techniques of civil disobedience, particularly the concept of 'Satyagraha' or 'truth force,' which he formulated in response to the discrimination faced by Indians in South Africa.
