Gandhi’s autobiography for children – A book to teach kids about Gandhi
Renowned scientist Albert Einstein once told about Mahatma Gandhi that the generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. ‘My Experiments with Truth’ is the autobiography of Gandhi.
The book ‘Gandhijiyude Athmakatha Kuttikalkk’ (Gandhi’s Autobiography for Children) is the simplified version of Gandhi’s autobiography in Malayalam. Gandhi was a voracious reader and writer and always tried to communicate his concepts to the world through writing and oration.
Among Gandhi’s numerous works, his autobiography is the biggest and most appreciated work. This book is retold for children titled as ‘Gandhijiyude Athmakatha Kuttikalkk’. In the original autobiography penned in Gujarati language, its title was ‘Sathya Ke Godhe’. This was later expanded in the translated versions as ‘My Experiments with Truth’.
