Sell Your Mahatma Gandhi His Own Story Signed
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi, was first addressed as “Mahatma” by Indian artist Rabindranath Tagore, which means “great soul” in Sanskrit. He is well-known for his non-violent practices which helped free India from British rule and influence civil rights across the globe. Gandhi was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize five times, but did not win one. His last nomination was in 1948, the year he was assassinated, before nominations officially closed. There was discussion of awarding the prize posthumously and the committee instead did not award one that year and declared “there was no suitable living candidate”.
