The book Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth is a book that is written in a way that does not narrate Mohmand Gandhi’s life; but rather, it shapes a more interactive approach to not only educate readers, but to teach them the importance behind his philosophies. The book is structured in a way that shows readers the challenges that Gandhi faced and how these formulated his outlook on life. Moreover, he writes his book from a self-realization standpoint on how his teachings were developed because of his experiments with discovering truth. In fact, Gandhi makes this interpretation apparent as he articulates that “it is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. I simply want to tell the story of my numerous experiments…show more content… Thereby, it is perceived being carried out in Gandhi’s non-violence principle based on the belief in ahimsa.

Based on the way that the film is produced it becomes apparent that it is taking away the significance that Gandhi holds aside from his contribution to the political side. To further explain, the film did not demonstrate a direct connection with Gandhi therefore viewers were unaware of the fact that Gandhi gained his knowledge through that of his flaws.
