Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who is also known as Mahatma Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, was a transformative leader and the foremost advocate of nonviolent resistance. Known as the “Father of the Nation” in India, Gandhi’s philosophy of Satyagraha—or truth and nonviolence—became the guiding principle of India’s struggle for independence from British rule. His commitment to social justice, simplicity, and the upliftment of the marginalized inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Tragically, Gandhi’s life was cut short when he was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by a Hindu nationalist who opposed his efforts to promote Hindu-Muslim unity. Despite his untimely death, Gandhi’s enduring legacy lies in his belief that lasting change can only be achieved through peaceful means, a message that continues to resonate globally in the pursuit of justice and equality.
