About the Book
The volume "Freedom's Battle," written by Mahatma Gandhi, is an outstanding compilation of lectures and writings that capture their persistent commitment to nonviolent resistance and the quest of freedom and justice. The work of literature collects Gandhi's ideas and speeches from various periods within his activism, providing a deep understanding of his concept of peaceful resistance. Throughout the book, Mahatma Gandhi, a legendary leader of India's freedom struggle, articulates his ideals of Satyagraha (truth-force) and Ahimsa (nonviolence). With a firm confidence in the power of moral courage and civil disobedience, he tackles injustice, colonialism, and oppression. "Freedom's Battle" demonstrates Gandhi's view that true emancipation can only be attained by standing up to injustice without resorting to violence. He discusses problems ranging from India's battle for self-governance to bigger global challenges, promoting the notion that nonviolence is a more powerful force than any weapon. The book is a monument to Gandhi's amazing ability to express complicated ideas and motivate people to engage in peaceful resistance. "Freedom's Battle" is a stirring call to arms, imploring readers to contemplate the moral and ethical implications of their activities and to acknowledge the possibility of transformative change by peaceful methods.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial patriot, and political ethicist who led the successful movement for India's independence from British control through peaceful resistance. He sparked civil rights and freedom movements all across the world. The epithet Mahtm (from Sanskrit for 'great-souled, venerable') was initially ascribed to him in South Africa in 1914 and is now used worldwide. Gandhi, he was brought up in a Hindu family on the Gujarat coast, learned law at the Inner Temple in London, he was called to the bar at the age of 22 in June 1891. He traveled to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a dispute after two uncertain years in India, when he was unable to establish a successful law practice. He afterwards spent 21 years in South Africa. It was here that Gandhi raised a family and first used nonviolent resistance in a civil rights struggle. In 1915, at the age of 45, he went to India and immediately began organizing peasants, farmers, and urban laborers to protest exorbitant land taxation and discrimination.
