    Mahatma Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar,

    India, was a key figure in the Indian independence movement against British rule.
    He is best known for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, or “satyagraha,”
    which advocated civil disobedience and peaceful protest as a means to achieve
    political and social change.

    Gandhi’s leadership was instrumental in various movements, such as the Non-


    Cooperation Movement, the Salt March, and the Quit India Movement. His emphasis on
    self-reliance, simplicity, and unity among diverse Indian communities made him a
    revered figure not only in India but also worldwide. He believed in the power of
    truth, ethical conduct, and compassion, and his influence extended to global
    leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

    Despite his commitment to peace, Gandhi faced opposition and criticism from
    different factions, particularly in the period leading up to India’s partition in
    1947. He was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu
    nationalist who opposed Gandhi’s efforts to reconcile Hindus and Muslims.

    Gandhi’s legacy continues to inspire movements for civil rights, justice, and
    freedom around the world.
