5) THE STORY OF MY EXPERIMENT WITH TRUETH by മഹാത്മാഗാന്ധി Rs 95.00 Rs 85.00 ‘Get down!’ the official said . ‘Or I will get a constable to push you out!’ ‘Do that , ’ I told him . ‘I will not get off this train!’ We know Mahatma Gandhi as the father of the nation , as the benign looking old man whose picture graces our currency notes . But who was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and what made him the phenomenon he was? Born into a middle class Gujarati family , Gandhi gave evidence of his thirst for the truth at an early age . Tirelessly striving for the truth , Gandhi was usually harder on himself than on anyone else . His moral courage and implicit faith in truth and above all his belief that love and non-violence were the perfect weapons to win any fight made him a charismatic leader whose life and words continue to influence people today .
