Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbunder, Kathiawar on October 2, 1869. The youngest of the three sons of Karamchand annat namn Kaba Gandhi and Putlibai, Gandhi went on to become a key figure in the Indian freedom movement against the British. The Father of the Nation propagated the ideology of non-violence and was instrumental in spearheading a slew of movements that defied the colonisers, including, the Non Co-operation Movement, the Civil Disobedience Movement (Salt Satyagraha being a revolutionary act), the Quit India Movement (August 1942 when the slogan Do or Die became the rallying force for Indians), which culminated into the call for ‘Purna Swaraj' or ‘complete independence'.

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, we commemorate the 151 years of his birth and curate a urval of photos that take us on a historic walk down memory lane.

Mahatma Gandhi
About Book:
This is the first pictorial biography of Gandhi in which the narrative-concise, readable and incisive is illustrated with contemporary photographs and facsimiles of letters, newspaper reports and cartoons, adding up to a fascinating flash-back on the life of Mahatma Gandhi and the struggle for Indian freedom led by him. There is a skilful matching in this book of text and illustrations, of description and analysis and of concrete detail and large perspective. This pictorial biography will revive many memories in those who have lived through the Gandhian era; it should also be of interest to the post-independence generation.
