Summary: "Mahatma Gandhi" by Romain Rolland is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life and philosophy of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, exploring his upbringing, beliefs, and the development of his non-violent resistance movement against British colonial rule in India. This comprehensive study sheds light on Gandhi's impactful methods and moral convictions, as well as his influence on India's quest for independence. At the start of the book, the author introduces Gandhi as a man of humble appearance and profound inner strength, likening him to figures like Saint Francis of Assisi. Rolland recounts Gandhi's early life in Porbandar, his education, and the formative experiences that shaped his commitment to non-violence and social justice. The narrative begins to unpack Gandhi's moral philosophy, rooted in his Hindu upbringing, particularly the principle of Ahimsa (non-violence), setting the stage for his later activism in South Africa and, ultimately, India. Through this opening portion, readers gain insight into Gandhi's initial struggles and the ideological groundwork that would underpin his later actions as a leader for millions who yearned for freedom.
