Childhood
- At age 7, Gandhi is a mediocre student but doesn't lie—he's a regular George Washington with a cherry tree.
- A teacher once tries to get him to cheat on a spelling exercise conducted for an inspector, and our autobiography-ing hero doesn't even realize what the teacher was trying to get him to do.
- Gandhi comes across two plays by chance. The devotion of the main character in Shravana Pitribhakti Nataka for his parents inspires the youth.
- The honesty of Harishchandra in the eponymous play also inspires him. Devotion and honesty—yup, that's Gandhi.
