Beyond his role as a leader, Gandhi was a deeply spiritual, introspective, and humble individual. He embraced simplicity, living a life of minimalism, practicing vegetarianism, and spinning his own khadi to symbolize self-reliance. Despite his towering influence, he valued human connection, listening to people’s struggles with empathy. His relationships—especially with Kasturba Gandhi, his wife—shaped his views on equality and sacrifice. He was also a devoted writer, expressing his thoughts in letters and journals that continue to reveal his inner struggles, doubts, and unshakable commitment to truth and justice.
