Gandhiji wrote a confession letter to his father admitting to stealing money to buy cigarettes when he was around 15-16 years old. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, read the letter, tore it up without any punishment, and Gandhi was deeply moved by this act of forgiveness, which he later recounted in his autobiography.
