ABOUT THE BOOK Gandhi`s autobiography, which he had titled `My experiments with Truth`, can be rated as one of the most popular and the most influential books in the recent history. It was written at the instance of Swami Anand. It appeared in the Weekly `Navjivan` during 1925-28. It covers Gandhi`s life up to 1920. He did not cover the period after that as it was well known to the people and most of the concerned persons were alive. Besides he felt that his experiments in that period were yet to yield definite conclusions. Gandhi`s autobiography is very different from other autobiographies. The autobiographies normally contain self-praise by the authors. They want to criticize their opponents and boost their own image in the people`s eyes. Gandhi`s autobiography is completely free from all this. It is marked with humility and truthfulness. Gandhi`s autobiography, which he had titled `My experiments with Truth`, can be rated as one of the most popular and the most influential books in the recent history.
