Freedom's Battle Being a Comprehensive Collection of Writings and Speeches on the Present Situation Ted Garvin, Debra Storr and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Freedom's Battle" by Mahatma Gandhi is a collection of writings and speeches compiled during the early 20th century, specifically published in the early 1920s. The work centers around key issues affecting India during the British colonial period, including the Khilafat Movement, political rights, and the struggle for autonomy and justice. Gandhi discusses the implications of British policy on Muslim sentiment and advocates for unity between Hindus and Muslims in their shared quest for freedom. The opening of the text introduces the complex political and social landscape India faced post-World War I, highlighting the discontent among Indian Muslims regarding the treatment of the Ottoman Empire and their religious sentiments tied to the Khilafat. Gandhi reflects on the failures of the new British reforms, emphasizing the dangers of maintaining a foreign bureaucracy and the continued violation of the rights and beliefs of the Indian people. He sets the stage for a call to action through nonviolent resistance and cooperation, urging Indians to unite in the face of what he perceives as unjust governance, thus reflecting on broader themes of nationalism, social justice, and civic responsibility.
