"Mahatma Gandhi: The Man Who Became One With the Universal Being" by Romain Rolland is a biographical account exploring the life and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into Gandhi's transformation from a frail young man to a leader who inspired a nation to fight for independence through non-violent resistance. It focuses on the principles of ahimsa (non-violence) and the significance of spiritual and moral strength in achieving social and political change. At the start of the narrative, the author paints a vivid picture of Gandhi, depicting him as a simple yet formidable figure. Identified as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the text outlines his early life experiences, including his upbringing in a devout Hindu family and the influences that shaped his worldview. Rolland recounts Gandhi's formative years spent in England, his initial experiences with racism in South Africa, and how these events ignited his relentless quest for justice. As Gandhi confronts harsh realities, he begins to formulate his philosophy of non-violence and commitment to serving the oppressed. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Gandhi’s teachings and struggles, laying the groundwork for an account that transcends mere biographical details to address the broader implications of his ideals on humanity.
