Management learning from section-5

The most interesting part of reading this autobiography by M.K.Gandhi was that how a man relentlessly wrote everything,right from the worst of the social inequality to cast system in India;but still loves India with all his heart and soul and how much he wanted it to be free.In section 5,he also dealt  with celibacy, fasting, vegetarianism and other personal aspects of his life, apart from his struggle against colonialism and racism. An extremely personal and riveting autobiography, this book reveals  around the man who went on to becomethe Mahatma. Certain management lessons like”Leader must take the rein in his own hands rather than expect guidance from elsewhere” and “One should aim at work and not name, substance and not shadow”.The greatest learning is how the great man constantly revised his strategies,implemented new ways but keeping the morals constant.This section also marked the beginning of the khadi. One must know and understand that there is no other God than Truth. The only means for realization of Truth is Ahimsa.Based in 1920 the goal of the Gandhiji was the attainment of Swaraj within the British Empire if possible and without if necessary and the means for attainment have to be peaceful and legitimate
