Gandhi : Great Spirit : 2

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti- colonial activist and political ethicist who employed non-violent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British Rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific ‘Mahatma’ (from Sanskrit, meaning great-souled, or venerable), was first applied to him in South Africa in 1914, but today it is used worldwide. Gandhi is noted as the greatest figure of modern India. In 1999, Gandhi was also declared ‘Asian of the century’ and in a 2000 BBC poll, he was voted the greatest man of the Millennium. • True story of India’s most famous person • In-depth information is presented in an engaging and highly accessible way. • Superb artwork illustrations throughout plus contemporary photographs * A time-line and glossary provide essential quick references.Author: Clarke, Brenda,author Contributors: Clarke, Brenda,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language Published/Release Date: 28 May 2026 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Zero to Ten Author/Director/Artist: Brenda Clarke Dimension (cm): 8x198x129 mm Package Dimension (cm): 8x198x129 mm Item Weight (g): 66 Package Weight (g): 75
