INTRODUCTION In 1893, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, serving as legal counsel in South Africa was thrown off a train on the insistence of a white man, despite having a first-class ticket. Gandhi fought back-one of his earliest acts of civil disobedience against racial discrimination. Years after this life- altering experience, Gandhi returned to a colonised India in 1914. He spearheaded the freedom movement through non-cooperation, non-violence (Ahimsa), Satyagraha (insistence on truth) and self-rule (Swaraj): and on 15th August, 1947, India gained independence from British rule. Popularly known as Bapu and The Father of the Nation, this simple, dhoti-clad and charkha-spinning leader of the masses fell to an assassin's bullets on 30th January, 1948. This compendium includes Mahatma Gandhi's inspirational quotes on love, truth and justice
