Mahatma Gandhi traces the lawyer and political organiser who made nonviolent mass action central to the struggle against British rule. It follows his formative years in South Africa, return to India and leadership in campaigns involving peasants, workers, taxation and civil disobedience.
The biography examines the Salt March, imprisonment, negotiations and Gandhi’s complex relations with Congress colleagues, revolutionaries, Dalit leaders and Muslim political organisations. It also considers his religious and social ideas, opposition to communal violence and assassination in 1948.
