The Story of My Experiments with Truth Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. What might have happened if Gandhi hadn't been assassinated?
  2. What would the Romantics say about Gandhi's self-purification and self-restraint? Is there any benefit to indulging your passions and having wild feelings?
  3. Is non-violence the only correct way to change society? Is there ever justification for violence? Consider, for example, the case of self-defense. Is it okay to attack someone who has attacked you or who might attack you?
  4. What does Gandhi say about atheism? Is it possible to accomplish the things he accomplished without religion?
  5. Could Gandhi have had the success he had as a woman? What is the status of women in this book?
  6. What might Gandhi try to do if he lived today? What campaigns to make the world a better place might he launch?
