My Experiments with Truth – M. K. Gandhi in 200 words.

The Story of My Experiments with Truth is an autobiography by Mohandas

Karamchand Gandhi, published in 1993. Ghandi, known as Mahatma Gandhi,
relates the story of his life from childhood onwards, and how he came to
formulate his theories and practice of nonviolent resistance to British rule in
India. In his lifetime, Ghandi succeeded in helping India to push itself towards
independence from the British Empire. Through the book, he espouses a moral
message to his readers. Aside from his political beliefs and activities, Ghandi
discusses his ascetic outlook on life, his vegetarianism and selfdiscipline, his
commitment to abstinence, his ongoing spiritual development, and his time in
England. All royalties earned on The Story of My Experiments with Truth go
to the Navajivan Trust, a publishing house focused on spiritual and educational
development, founded by Gandhi himself.

The archbishop is murdered in a grisly scene, and the suspect, Aaron Stampler
(Edward Norton), is captured a short time later, after a foot chase with police
that is telecast live. He's covered with the archbishop's blood, and the headlines
call him “The Butcher Boy of St. Mike's.” A psychologist named Molly
Arrington (Frances McDormand) examines him for the court and thinks the
question has no simple answer, because the kid, under intense pressure,
suggests there was another person in the room. There is a lot more to it than
that, although I will not reveal the details.
