About Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, was a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He is best known for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, or Satyagraha, which inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi's commitment to peace, social justice, and civil disobedience made him an enduring symbol of nonviolence and resistance to oppression until his assassination in 1948.
