Description
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, India. He was an Indian lawyer, politician, and social activist who became the leader of the nationalist movement against the British rule in India. Gandhi is internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest to achieve political and social protest. To the millions of fellow Indians, Gandhi was the Mahatma or "Great Soul." Gandhi was the catalyst of three of the major revolutions of the 20th century: the movements against colonialism, racism, and violence. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948 in Delhi.
