And what better role model than Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation who master-minded and won India's freedom struggle from the imperial Great Britain's exploitative rules.
In the next few issues of the Kidzone section, we will feature excerpts from Growing Up with the Mahatma authored by Dr. Swati Popat Vats, president of the Early Childhood Association of India and the Podar chain of preschools. This richly illustrated book presents inspiring stories from the life of the Mahatma with each chapter narrating one of the many 'avatars' of Gandhiji and lessons to learn from them.
