Autobiography as a Tool of Nationalism

Autobiographies and Biographies of Great Leaders

In the history of every nation, leaders impact the lives of people not only of their own generation but every generation that would follow them. Abraham Lincoln, Vladimir Lenin, M. K. Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Periyar Ramasamy, B. R. Ambedkar and Phule, for example, have had profound influence on the mental make-up of our modern world, social structure and intellectual development. Lives of scientists, inventors and business leaders like Thomas Edison, Einstein, Bill Gates and Narasimhamoorthy continue to inspire the young scholars and businesspersons in their endeavor in creating more wealth and more relevant knowledge. Some of these have written their autobiographies, and, for some others, only others have written their biographies.

However, both the autobiographies and biographies of such leaders among us have given us the most moving and candid accounts of the sorrows, sufferings and heart-aches, successes and failures of these leaders.
