Mahatma Gandhi is one of the greatest leaders in the last century, who inspired and lead millions of people for India’s Independence with nonviolence. His nonviolent movement inspired people across the world for freedom and civil rights.
Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Gujarat, India. He was a lawyer and moved to South Africa in 1893 where he stayed there for 21 years before moving back to India. His movement against racism and civil rights started in South Africa when he was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg due to his skin color.
After returning to India, he joined the Indian National Congress and fought for the Independence of India. He took non-violence as a tool for freedom and was successful in motivating people for freedom to fight with non-violence. His life journey has inspired many great leaders like Nelson Mandela.
