“To mark 150 years since the birth of Mohandas ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi, this lecture by acclaimed author Ramachandra Guha reflects on one of the most influential – and controversial – men in modern history. Having come of age in Gujurat, London and South Africa, Gandhi returned to India to lead a path through the most complex of challenges; to deliver his country from British rule, to forge harmony between religions, to end the practice of untouchability, and to develop India’s economic and moral self-reliance. For his revolutionary non-violent tactics he remains a hero and spiritual guide to many, but as a man he was not without his flaws.”
