The name of Mahatma Gandhis autobiography is "The Story of My Experiments with Truth". It covers his life from early childhood through to 1921 and was originally written in Gujarati. Gandhi intended it to lay out the case for "Satyagraha" (Abidance in Truth), the name coined for his non-violent and peaceful resistance of British occupation. The autobiography is noted for its lucid, simple, and idiomatic language and its transparently honest narration. It has become a key document for interpreting Gandhis life and ideas.
