Gandhi Ji has sensitively framed the 'self' from personal truth. Throughout his autobiography, he continued to tell about his life - his habits, his behavior, his nature, his thinking, his weaknesses, his weapons - "Truth" and "Non-Violence", everything that it concerns him and through all this, he made a very clear picture of his personality in front of me. After reading about his life experiences, such as the incident when there was an inspection in his school and he was denied to copy from someone else's notebook, "Honesty", the experiment with his "power of self-control “, his weakness of “being a shy person” who then turns into a great leader etc., I have a much better understanding of his nature than I had before reading the same.

Get an Original Essay Even when I analyze Gandhi's autobiography from this aspect, I feel that he was quite successful in this too. There are a number of historical events which he mentioned in it and through which he presented an image of the "Self", events like: the creation of the "Indian Natal Congress" showing his "leadership quality", "The Satyagraha" - his power of 'Self-control', 'Khilafat Movement' - His power etc. In my opinion, Gandhi ji did not frame himself by giving free rein to the imagination because when I read the text, I came across the facts: facts about his nature, facts about his experiences and facts about the historical events that took place in that period, so I didn't feel any room for imagination about him. All this pertains to my understanding of Gandhi Ji's portrayal of 'Self' in his autobiography. I would like to conclude this project by sharing my thoughts on the entire Autobiography in summary form. Please note: this is just an example.

Get a Custom Essay Gandhi ji's autobiography is indeed a very commendable effort and its title: "The Story of My Experiment with Truth" is quite appropriate. “Since Gandhi intended to write the history of his experiments, his autobiography was essentially a Katha and not an Itihasa, a didactic discussion of selected experiments rather than their complete and impartial account.” The autobiography gives a very true and honest picture of his personality. Although some truths were bitter to accept, he had also accepted those truths and had mentioned them in the book, which leaves a very good impression of him in the reader as not everyone has the courage to accept all the truths of his life. Though Gandhi Ji's character might also come under criticism but his divine qualities overwhelm him.
