Gujarat might be Mahatma Gandhi’s native state but it is ‘God’s own country’ Kerala that has more takers for his autobiography. According to Navjivan Trust, an Ahmedabad-based publishing house founded by Gandhi, The Story of My Experiments With Truth has sold 8.24 lakh copies in its Malayalam version, the highest for any language after English, while the figure is 6.71 lakh for Gujarati.
