Third Class in Indian Railways by Mahatma Gandhi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A classic collection of six published papers of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1916 and 1917, over a variety of subjects like 1) His personal experience during his travel in 3rd Class compartment of the then Indian Railways, 2)Importance of Vernacularism and mother tongue in medium of instruction with classic world examples of any country with a rich cultural heritage, 3) His own ideology of Swadeshi movement and its impact on self sustenance of local skill sets and its protection from foreign economic invasion, 4)Ahimsa, as mode of highly evolved mental state of courage and virtue wherein one learns to overcome the fear of death, 5) Co-Operation and its importance in creating a sustained growth model and wealth in the nation and its immunity from the venomous tentacles of the unscrupulous credit system nurtured by the upper echelons of the society which engulf the lower strata of the same to be bound to them forever, 6) National Dress which M K Gandhi is well-known for across the world, its importance and a soft warning to Mr Irwin who criticized his attire publicly in a national newspaper, the Pioneer.
These are some of the very important historical evidences of M K Gandhi’s famous and world renowned ideologies which every citizen of the world should be abreast with for a better life and which are also a part and parcel of his anti-British and Indian Independence movement during his times.
