Gandhi Before India
View on Wikipedia
Gandhi Before India is a 2013 book by the Indian historian Ramachandra Guha, the first part of a two-volume biography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The book deals with Gandhi's life up to his return to India following a 21-year period as a lawyer and civil-rights activist in South Africa. During this period in South Africa, Gandhi experienced discrimination that all coloured people there faced, including the Indian community he became a part of. In response to the government's policies he developed Satyagraha, a form of protest that translates loosely to "truth force".[1]
