Popularly known as "Bapu" in India, the Father of Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd of October 1869 in Porbandar in the Gujarat State of India.

His contribution to the Independence Movement in British ruled India is unmatched. It makes him the preeminent leader in the Indian history.

His major weapon against the Empirical British Regime was non-violent civil disobedience. Now when we see his old pictures, movies, or listen to his speeches, or watch him in movie clips of the time, it seems incredible that a frail man in a white dhoti had led India to her freedom.
