Indian Home Rule (1909) is a book by Mahatma Gandhi. Originally written in Gujarati while the author was traveling from London to South Africa, Indian Home Rule or Hind Swaraj is a groundbreaking text that laid out some of Gandhi¿s core beliefs as an activist and political thinker. Banned in 1910 by the British government in India as a seditious text, Indian Home Rule remains essential to Gandhi¿s legacy in his native country and around the world. ¿It is my deliberate opinion that India is being ground down, not under the English heel, but under that of modern civilization. It is groaning under the monster's terrible weight. There is yet time to escape it, but every day makes it more and more difficult.¿ In Indian Home Rule, styled as a conversation between a Reader and an Editor, Gandhi makes his case for Indian independence or Swaraj, explains his concept of Swadeshi (self-reliance), and argues that the Indian people have it within their power to not only expel the British, but to govern themselves while remaining true to their cultural and religious traditions. Through his rejection of Western civilization and advocacy for nonviolent resistance, Gandhi laid the foundation for the vital work he would undertake upon returning to India in 1915. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mahatma Gandhi¿s Indian Home Rule is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.

A sloka-by-sloka interpretation of one of the worlds most enduring and influential spiritual texts of the twentieth century. Among the various interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita, the one by Mahatma Gandhi holds a unique position. Unlike other interpretations, Gandhis commentary is direct and to the point, not offering an opinion on the meaning of the text, but fleshing out the message, often relating it to his own extraordinary experiences.Gandhi interpreted the Bhagavad Gita, which he regarded as a gospel of selfless action, over a period of nine months from February 24th to November 27th, 1926 at Satyagrah Ashram, Ahmedabad. The morning prayer meetings were followed by his discourses and discussions on the Bhagavad Gita. During this timea period when Gandhi had withdrawn from mass political activityhe devoted much of his time and energy to translating the Gita from Sanskrit into his native Gujarati. As a result, he met with his followers almost daily, after morning prayer sessions, to discuss the Gita's contents and meaning as it unfolded before him. This book is the transcription of those daily sessions.This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was the prominent figure in the freedom struggle in India from the British rule.

This package contains a selection of the public writings and private letters and speeches of Gandhi. Ever mindful of the importance of nonviolence, he encourages noncompliance with the colonial imperialist British and encourages the Hindu people to stand with their Islamic brothers following the "Satanic" like breakup of the Turkish Ottoman empire and the broken promises of the English PM. Makes you wonder when the likes of Gandhi finds injustice unequivocally in the British promises during and following WW1 that has led up to the present seige and terrorism. Insights offered into Afghans. Outstanding summary selection. This writing comes highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Gandhi or with an interest in the origins of political thoughts.

Tirelessly striving for honesty, Gandhi was harder on himself than on anyone else - making him a charismatic leader whose life and words continue to influence people today.

Beginning where the autobiography left off, Green has selected letters, essays, interviews, and speeches that offer a complete self-narration of Gandhi's life from 1920 to 1948.
