Our story follows his transformation from a shy lawyer into a formidable activist in the crucible of South Africa, where he forged his revolutionary philosophy of non-violent resistance, Satyagraha. Upon returning to India, he rose to lead a nation, galvanizing millions with audacious acts of civil disobedience like the Salt March. We examine his leadership through decades of struggle, his relentless fight against the deep-rooted injustice of untouchability, and his complex political negotiations for a free, united India. Finally, we confront the tragic paradox of his final days: achieving independence for his country, only to witness it torn apart by Partition, and making the ultimate sacrifice in a desperate, final plea for peace.CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 Introduction00:03:01 The Formative Years in Kathiawar (1869–1888)00:11:24 The London Transformation (1888–1891)00:17:06 An Unwelcome Arrival in South Africa (1893)00:25:28 The Merchant's Meeting (1894)00:32:44 Forging Satyagraha in the Transvaal (1906–1908)00:40:52 The Great March and Final Victory (1913–1914)00:50:05 The Returning Hero and the Champaran Struggle (1915–1917)00:59:42 The Rise of Non-cooperation and the Mahatma (1919–1922)01:13:27 The March to the Sea - The Salt Satyagraha (1930)01:24:07 Gandhi in London and the Round Table Conference (1931)01:32:22 The Fight Against Untouchability (1932–1934)01:40:15 The Second World War and Quit India (1939–1942)01:48:13 The Agony of Partition (1646–1947)01:56:30 Marching for Peace in Noakhali and Bihar (1946–1947)02:04:24 The Final Days and Martyrdom (1947–1948)02:11:31 Epilogue: Gandhi in Our TimeThank you for joining us!
