Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography to be translated into Kashmiri

Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography to be translated into Kashmiri

Mahatma Gandhi
'The Story of My Experiments with Truth' - life story of Mahatma Gandhi, the man who waged wars with non-violence - will soon be available in Jammu and Kashmir.
After growing demand from Kashmiris to print Gandhi's autobiography in their regional language, the book is being translated by three scholars. The best translation, which retains the heart of Gandhi's teachings, will be selected and printed.
Managing trustee of Navjivan Trust Vivek Desai says that the Kashmiri translation of Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography aims to take the message of peace and non-violence to a state which has reeled under active terrorism for the past many years now.
