Mahatma is the name the people of India gave to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The meaning is Great Soul, and they considered him as the father of their nation. Gandhi’s actions were guided by his philosophy that the way a person behaves is more important than what he achieves. It was these tactics that he used in his fight for India’s independence. In the excerpt, faith on trial, the central conflict was the choice that Gandhi had to make, to respect life by allowing his son to eat meat due to his illness, or to obey his faith and save the life of his only son.
