Besides being the greatest leader of 20th century, Mahatma Gandhi was a good writer and author of several books. He was editor of a newspaper called Harijan in Gujarati, Hindi and English, Indian Opinion while in South Africa and, Young India, in English, and Navajivan, a Gujarati monthly, on his return to India.

Gandhi also wrote his autobiography, An Autobiography of My Experiments with Truth, Satyagraha in South Africa about his struggle there, Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule, a political pamphlet, and a paraphrase in Gujarati of John Ruskin’s Unto This Last. He also wrote extensively on vegetarianism, diet and health, rural reforms, Gita, religion, social reforms, etc. Gandhi usually wrote in Gujarati, though he also revised the Hindi and English translations of his books.
