Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi was a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement against British rule, known for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance (Satyagraha) and civil disobedience. Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, he studied law in London and later became a civil rights activist in South Africa. Gandhi's commitment to nonviolence and his efforts to promote social reforms and communal harmony made him a symbol of peace and justice worldwide. His teachings emphasize the power of thoughts and actions, famously stating, 'A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.' Gandhi's legacy continues to inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the globe.
