I had just finished reading this wonderful book on Mohandhas Karamchand Gandhi. It touched my heart. I am only 12 years old and I am very glad to have an uncle like Bhikhu Parekh(the author of the book). I hope you read this great book on how wonderful Gandhi was to his people and how he fought for the independence of his country.
