Puffin Lives: Mahatma Gandhi – The Father of the Nation

About this audiobook

On his passport, he was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but poet Rabindranath Tagore called him Mahatma—the great soul—a title he found uncomfortable. Nelson Mandela referred to him as a sacred warrior, while others labeled him the saint of the spinning wheel, and he is now recognized as the father of the nation. A courageous freedom fighter, shrewd politician, and passionate social reformer, Mahatma Gandhi was all this and more. In a vivid narrative, Subhadra Sen Gupta explores the life and legacy of this extraordinary leader, revealing the man behind the simple handspun clothes.
