Summary
To mark the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth, DK presents the audiobook of The Story of My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography, narrated by Sagar Arya.

Gandhi's non-violent struggles against racism, violence, and colonialism in South Africa and India had brought him to such a level of notoriety and adulation that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself.

He feared the enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding of his quest for truth rooted in devotion to God. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices, celibacy, and a life without violence.

This is not a straightforward narrative biography. In The Story of My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography, Gandhi offers his life story as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps.

A well-known Indian actor, Sagar Arya has narrated over 35 audiobooks, including White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Love Like Blood by Mark Billingham and audiobooks by Amish, and he brings his wealth of knowledge to this production. His television credits include A Touch of Frost, Hunted, Spooks, Casualty and Holby City. He appeared as Claudio in RSC's Much Ado About Nothing, as well as Twelfth Night (West End), The Great Game (Tricycle) and A Fine Balance (Hampstead).

I truly enjoyed this book even though it's a hundred years old because the themes Gandhi covers are still relevant today, such as his outlook on different religions, racism in the United Kingdom and South Africa, comparing political structures and fairness between the UK and Dutch systems, and his focus on character, trustworthiness, and honor to helped him achieve his goals to change bad laws based on non-violent activism. I didnt know anything about his upbringing in India, education, professional career, or his family, which he describes in his book. The narrator speaks clear English with a Indian accent, which helps visualize the real Ghandhi speaking, rather than being spoken in an American accent. Nice to hear an actual speech by Gandhi at the end.

Simple language, short chapters, smooth flow and connected lines, this book carries enough for deep thinkers seeking meaning of life. You may not agree to all of Gandhi Gi's ideals, philosophy and strategy rather may get frustrated with him at times, but at the end you this feeble being lovable for his faith in his ideals. The narrator's pronunciation might at time sound not standard, but that's when one is broughtup perfecting English in former English Colony. His style has done justice to the story. It couldn't be better narrated by native English speaker.
