The Story of My Experiments with Truth by M.K. Gandhi

The Story of My Experiments with Truth — the autobiography of Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (M.K. Gandhi) — is one of the most influential spiritual and political autobiographies ever written. Originally written in Gujarati as “Satya Na Prayogo Athva Atmakatha” and later translated into English, it was first published in 1927.

The book covers Gandhi’s life from his childhood in Porbandar, through his education in England, his struggles against racial discrimination in South Africa, and his leadership in India’s freedom movement.

Gandhi presents his life as a series of “experiments” with truth (satya), non-violence (ahimsa), morality, and self-discipline. It is less about political achievements and more about his inner journey toward discovering truth and righteousness.
