Mahatma Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1869, was a pivotal leader in India's struggle for independence from British rule. Renowned for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, or satyagraha, Gandhi inspired millions through peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and a steadfast commitment to truth and justice. Educated in law in London and influenced by both Indian spiritual traditions and Western ideals, he emerged as a moral and political force who led key movements such as the Salt March and Quit India Movement. His emphasis on self-reliance, rural upliftment, and interfaith harmony left a profound legacy not only in India but around the world, influencing civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Revered as the "Father of the Nation" in India, Gandhi's life remains a symbol of the power of peaceful resistance.
