Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, was a pivotal figure in the struggle for Indian independence from British rule. Known for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, or "Satyagraha," Gandhi inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. His early education in law in London and subsequent experiences in South Africa shaped his views on social justice, leading him to advocate for the rights of the oppressed. Gandhi's commitment to simplicity, truth, and nonviolence created a lasting legacy that resonates even today.
