The volume "Freedom's Battle," written by Mahatma Gandhi, is an outstanding compilation of lectures and writings that capture their persistent commitment to nonviolent resistance and the quest of freedom and justice. The work of literature collects Gandhi's ideas and speeches from various periods within his activism, providing a deep understanding of his concept of peaceful resistance. Throughout the book, Mahatma Gandhi, a legendary leader of India's freedom struggle, articulates his ideals of Satyagraha (truth-force) and Ahimsa (nonviolence). With a firm confidence in the power of moral courage and civil disobedience, he tackles injustice, colonialism, and oppression. "Freedom's Battle" demonstrates Gandhi's view that true emancipation can only be attained by standing up to injustice without resorting to violence. He discusses problems ranging from India's battle for self-governance to bigger global challenges, promoting the notion that nonviolence is a more powerful force than any weapon. The book is a monument to Gandhi's amazing ability to express complicated ideas and motivate people to engage in peaceful resistance. "Freedom's Battle" is a stirring call to arms, imploring readers to contemplate the moral and ethical implications of their activities and to acknowledge the possibility of transformative change by peaceful methods.

It was written in weekly instalments and published in his journal Navjivan from 1925 to 1929. Its English translation also appeared in installments in his other journal Young India.It was initiated at the insistence of Swami Anand and other close co-workers of Gandhi, who encouraged him to explain the background of his public campaigns. In 1999, the book was designated as one of the "100 Best Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a committee of global spiritual and religious authorities. Tamil translation of Gandhi's autobiography, My Experiments with Truth, was published as Satya Sothanai done by Kalki Krishnamurthy.
"My Life is My Message" "You may be sure I am living now just the way I wish to live.What I might have done at the beginning, had I more light, I am doing now in the evenning of my life, at the end of my career, building from the bottom up.study my way of living here, study my surroundings, if you wish to know what I am. Village improvement is the only foundation on which conditions in India can be permanently ameliorated." M. K. Gandhi
I have now been in India for over two years and a half after my return from South Africa. Over one quarter of that time I have passed on the Indian trains travelling third class by choice. I have travelled up north as far as Lahore, down south up to Tranquebar, and from Karachi to Calcutta.
1924. Edited by Haridas T. Muzumdar. Gandhi was the leader of the now famous Non-Cooperation movement for national independence and self-development, and is regarded as one of the greatest men of all time. Sermon on the Sea, sometimes entitled Indian Home Rule or Hind Swaraj, written by Gandhi in South Africa in 1909 reveals Gandhi's views on civilization and on soul force.
LARGE PRINT EDITION. A LARGE PRINT EDITION includes text at a size much larger than a typical paperback. The biggest difference in a LARGE PRINT BOOK is the size of the text, which is much larger than a standard print edition. This larger text makes for an easier reading experience, especially for readers with less-than-perfect eyesight. NEW BOOK. NEW READING. NEW JOY.
It is certainly my good fortune that this booklet of mine is receiving wide attention. The original is in Gujarati. It had a chequered career. It was first published in the columns of the 'Indian Opinion' of South Africa. It was written in 1908 during my return voyage from London to South Africa in answer to the Indian school of violence, and its prototype in South Africa.
The first edition of Gandhiji's Autobiography was published in two volumes, Vol. I in 1927 and Vol. II in 1929. The original in Gujarati which was priced at Re. 1/- has run through five editions, nearly 50,000 copies having been sold. The price of the English translation (only issued in library edition) was prohibitive for the Indian reader, and a cheap edition has long been needed. It is now being issued in one volume. The translation, as it appeared serially in Young India, had, it may be noted, the benefit of Gandhiji's revision. It has now undergone careful revision, and from the point of view of language, it has had the benefit of careful revision by a revered friend, who, among many other things, has the reputation of being an eminent English scholar. Before undertaking the task, he made it a condition that his name should on no account be given out. I accept the condition. It is needless to say it heightens my sense of gratitude to him. Chapters XXIX-XLIII of Part V were translated by my friend and colleague Pyarelal during my absence in Bardoli at the time of the Bardoli Agrarian Inquiry by the Broomfield Committee in 1928-29. Mahadev Desai, 1940.
Many critics and some friends of Mahatma Gandhi have found fault with his desire to introduce simpler methods of spinning and weaving and to do away with much of the complicated machinery of Modern Civilisation. The reason why they object is that they fear such methods mean not progress towards a higher state but relapse into a primitive condition of civilisation or even of barbarism.

After the great war it is difficult, to point out a single nation that is happy; but this has come out of the war, that there is not a single nation outside India, that is not either free or striving to be free. It is said that we, too, are on the road to freedom, that it is better to be on the certain though slow course of gradual unfoldment of freedom than to take the troubled and dangerous path of revolution whether peaceful or violent, and that the new Reforms are a half-way house to freedom.

In this groundbreaking political text, Gandhi makes the case for Indian independence and the establishment of home rule while proposing the adoption of nonviolent or passive resistance to British rule. Written while Gandhi was travelling from London to South Africa by boat, Indian Home Rule is an essential philosophical and political text that truly changed the world as we know it.
This unusual autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, is a window to the workings of Mahatma Gandhi's mind, a window to the emotions of his heart, a window to understanding what drove this seemingly ordinary man to the heights of being the father of a nation-- India. Starting with his days as a boy, Gandhi takes one through his trials and turmoils and situations that moulded his philosophy of life: going through child marriage, his studies in England, practicing Law in South Africa-- and his Satyagraha there-- to the early beginnings of the Independence movement in India. He did not aim to write an autobiography but rather share the experience of his various experiments with truth to arrive at what he perceived as Absolute Truth-- the ideal of his struggle against racism, violence and colonialism.
