Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Gandhi wrote several books including his autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth of which he bought the entire first edition to make sure it was reprinted. His other autobiographies included: Satyagraha in South Africa about his struggle there.

Gandhi's statements/quotes, letters and life have attracted much political and scholarly analysis of his principles, practices and beliefs, including what influenced him.

Gandhi dedicated his life to discovering and pursuing truth, or Satya, and called his movement as satyagraha, which means "appeal to, insistence on, or reliance on the Truth".

A brief of the above is shared in a similar way in the application.
