Summary: | Mahatma Gandhi saw himself as a soldier of peace. This article attempts to explain how his years in South Africa moulded the young lawyer into a potential Mahatma whose experiments with truth involved rigorous religious training for exacting political expression. Swami Vivekananda was in sympathy with his methods.
