Of course...
Mahatma Gandhi or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi...
But I prefer to call him Bapu....
The book introduces to the reader the principles of non-violence practised and preached by Bapu, consideration for truth and honesty and above all the need for flawless love towards others....
How can there be any doubt in that......
It is famous throughout the world...

Written in 1925 under the title The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Gandhi's work describes the practical application of his beliefs. Absolute Truth is his sovereign principle and non-violence the method of pursuing it. In politics it meant freedom from foreign domination, within Hindu society it was the breaking down of barriers raised by caste and custom, in society it was living close to nature.
