Madhya Pradesh Journal of Social SciencesSummary: Mahatma Gandhi, while writing a historical account of his Satyagraha in South Africa (SSA), makes two claims – first, that he didn’t compromise with the style of writing and factual accuracy, and second, that his Satyagraha was a religious and a non-violent phenomenon from its very inception. The present paper examines his first claim by pointing out the discrepancies between Gandhi’s writings during his conduct of Satyagraha in South African soil from 1906 to 1914 and what he later wrote in SSA in 1924 to argue that Gandhi was less than accurate in narrating the events of his struggle in South Africa in SSA.- Reproduced
