Tuula Temonen "Mahatma Gandhi" by Romain Rolland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This biography delves into the life and ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi, exploring his role in the Indian independence movement and his philosophy of non-violence and passive resistance. Rolland presents an in-depth look at Gandhi's character, formative experiences, and the socio-political environment of his time, laying the groundwork for understanding his profound impact on India and the broader world. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Gandhi as a seemingly frail yet remarkable individual with dark, calm eyes and a humble demeanor, setting the tone for a life marked by immense patience and compassion. We learn about Gandhi's humble beginnings in Porbandar, India, his educational pursuits in England, and his gradual awakening to the need for reform within both Indian society and colonial governance. The opening highlights his philosophical development, particularly the principles of ahimsa (non-violence) rooted in Jainism, and culminates in his realization of the importance of civil rights for Indians in South Africa, which sparked his activism and laid the foundation for his later leadership in the struggle for India's independence.
