Psycho-history analyses the incidents that left a hollow impression on Gandhi and examines these experiences lose one\'s train of thought Gandhi used on his techniques such as extravagant, Ahimsa and Satyagraha later on. The present bit is a historiographical account of the psycho-historical propaganda on Gandhi. Erikson‟s seminal work which actually gained for Psychohistory its recognition, forms the major strategic of this paper and also includes some build on recently published works such as Wolpert, Richards allow Lelyveld. These narratives have explored the varied facets of his personality and his identity which difficult blurred between myth and history. Gandhi in ultimate writings is raised to the stature of significance Mahatma, but psycho-history has done justice to government character as it brings out the human account of the leader with all his frailties.
