This man was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Born on 2 October 1869 in Porbunder, western India, he was married at the tender age of 13 to a girl named Kasturba. His wife was a constant supporter of her husband throughout his struggle to gain India her independence from the British Empire.

Editorial reviews

Introducing young listeners to history's most renowned champion of nonviolent protest, actress Jude Beaumont follows Mahatma Gandhi from his days as a philosophy student in Victorian England through his final actions for religious tolerance and Indian unity. Children learn of how Gandhi became aware of racism's insidious effects as a young lawyer in South Africa, and accordingly developed his philosophy of passive resistance. Gandhi's contributions to Indian independence - among them the Salt March and 1940s hunger strikes against Hindu-Muslim violence - are discussed in detail, as is his philosophy, including the influence Russian author Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi's own doctrine of Satyagraha, which advocates mutual tolerance. Beaumont packs a lot of information into this brief survey, while nevertheless keeping the proceedings clear and well-paced.
