Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a young England-educated barrister at-law, then practising in Rajkot in Kathiawad,  is invited by an Indian firm in South Africa to handle their law suit. Gandhi had no option but to plunge into a long drawn-out struggle against injustice. The Making of the Mahatma is M.K. Gandhi's early story of experiments with truth, which gave to mankind a new weapon of liberty, the most civilized and humane. The process of transformation from Gandhi the man, to Gandhi the Mahatma is as exciting as it is thought-provoking.
