How did this shy, unassuming lawyer transform himself into the leader of India's freedom movement? Renouncing wealth, ambition, and comfort. Gandhi led by ex. becoming one w/ the people he sought to free. facing imprisonment, hardship, and humiliation while never raising his voice in anger. Monhandras Karamchand Gandhi, better known as the Mahatma Gandhi or Great Soul, took on the might of the British Empire armed only w/ a message of love and non-violence. In Gandhi: my life is my message we discover the man behind the legend, following him from his birth in the Indian coastal town of Porbander in 1869, to the moment of his tragic death at the hands of an assassin in january 1948, just months after the independence of India. |
