Gandhi: An autobiography by Mahatma GandhiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a difficult book to read in the sense that Gandhi is too modest to list down his qualities. So, you have to figure out on your own how those qualities are developing as he ages. You will get to know how Gandhi formed his opinions and belief. You may disagree with the ideology of Gandhi but you will definitely appreciate his journey.
Even if you don't want to read this book, read the preface of this book. I was sold on the preface part. Why does a "Father of the Nation" have truth in his autobiography title when he is known in world for non-violence or freedom from slaves?
I read this book in 2017 over a period of 4 months by reading 10 pages every day. By not binge reading, I was able to appreciate a lot of subtle things about Gandhi's life. Before reading this book, I had a negative stance on Gandhi and i always thought that he is overrated. But I was way wrong. I think he is highly underrated. (especially his spiritual journey).
