Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, authored the book "Indian Home Rule" in 1909. Gandhi outlines his goals for Indian freedom from British colonialism and self-rule in the book. Gandhi believes that civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance are the only effective ways for Indians to change the unfair and oppressive nature of British rule over their country. In his opinion, India's independence is not just a moral need but also a political one.

Gandhi explains his well-known Satyagraha philosophy, which is founded on nonviolent resistance and peaceful protest, in the book.

Global human rights groups, particularly the American human Rights Movement headed by Martin Luther King Jr., were influenced by Gandhi's beliefs on nonviolent resistance. "Indian Home Rule" serves as a potent rallying cry for Indian independence and self-government. It outlines Gandhi's plan for making India a free, independent, and peaceful country and outlines how to get there via nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience.
Autorenporträt
Mahatma Gandhi, commonly referred to as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was born in Porbandar, India, in 1869. He completed his legal studies in England before relocating to South Africa, where he was active in the civil rights movement for the country's Indian population. Gandhi created his nonviolent resistance doctrine, or Satyagraha, which would eventually serve as a tenet of his activity.Gandhi made his way back to India in 1915 and rose to prominence within the Indian National Congress, which fought for the country's independence from British colonial domination. He orchestrated a number of peaceful demonstrations and civil disobedience activities, including as the well-known Salt March that helped draw attention to India's cause for independence on a global scale. Martin Luther King Jr.'s American Civil Rights Movement and other civil rights and liberation movements were inspired by Gandhi's support for nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. A Hindu nationalist who disagreed with Gandhi's aspirations for Hindu-Muslim unity murdered him in 1948. Gandhi was renowned for his simplicity, adherence to the truth, and dedication to social justice throughout his life. With his message of peace and nonviolence, he touched the hearts of countless people, and his legacy is still having an impact on global movements for social and political change.
